What’s Good in April
In Partnership With In Good Company
As the city starts to bloom and we (finally!) shrug off winter layers, April in London is all about fresh starts — and we’re here for it. Whether you’re spring cleaning your wardrobe, stitching something cheeky at a knicker embroidery workshop, or diving into a circular fashion revolution, this month is packed with fun, sustainable events that celebrate creativity and conscious living.
So get your tote bags ready, round up your crew (pups included 🐶), and read on for our top picks for good things to do in London this April.
1. The Re-Loved Club: April Edition at The Coach, Leyton
📅 Saturday 19th April (Easter Saturday), 12–4pm
📍 Coach & Horses, 391 High Road Leyton, E10 5NA
🎟️ Free entry | More info
The much-acclaimed Re-Loved Club is back — and this time it’s heading to Leyton. Expect rails of top-notch pre-loved womenswear, menswear and kidswear, plus the sunny beer garden of The Coach & Horses. Think Sri Lankan street food, cocktails, a live DJ, and good vibes all round. Oh, and did we mention it’s dog friendly? 🐾
Whether you’re after a wardrobe refresh or just a fun afternoon out, this one’s for you. No fast fashion, just feel-good finds.
2. Snap up a Spring Clean Bargain with By Rotation
📅 Saturday 5th – Sunday 6th April, 12–6pm
📍 By Rotation, 31 Brook Street, Mayfair, W1K 4HF
🎟️ £6.13 tickets – proceeds go to charity Women for Women | Book here
What do Self-Portrait, Reformation, and Jacquemus have in common? You’ll find them (and more!) at this designer sample sale hosted by the sustainable fashion rental app By Rotation. It’s the perfect chance to grab luxury pre-loved pieces — all under £300 — while supporting a brilliant cause.
Every ticket supports Women for Women International, which helps women survivors of war and conflict rebuild their lives, so you can shop knowing your pounds are doing double duty.
3. SwapNation Spring Swap
📅 Saturday 12th April – Sunday 13th April, from 10am
📍 13 Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill, SE23 3HN
🎟️ From £6.96 | Book here
If your wardrobe’s feeling a little stale, SwapNation’s seasonal swap is your sign to refresh it — sustainably. Bring your no-longer-right-for-you pieces, sip a drink, chat with fellow swappers, and take home new-to-you gems. Each session is small, curated, and super vibey.
Workwear, spring florals, or just something new? This is guilt-free fashion at its best.
4. SLOE’s Knicker Embroidery Workshop
📅 Sunday 27th April, 10am
📍 SLOE Vintage, Brixton Village Market
🎟️ £35, limited spaces | Book here
It’s cheeky, it’s crafty, and it’s entirely slow and sustainable. Join Rosie Okotcha and Sloe Vintage for a morning of gossip, good vibes, and — yes — knicker embroidery. Partnering with Stripe & Stare, they’re using super-soft, size-inclusive undies (XS–4X) that are as ethical as they are comfy.
Bring your bestie, your mum, or just yourself — no experience necessary, just a sense of humour and a love of making something personal.
5. South London Style: A Circular Fashion Revolution
📅 Wednesday 23 April, 6.30 – 9pm
📍 Blue Garage, 30 Engate St, SE13 7H
🎟️ Tickets from £15 | Reserve your spot
Fashion Revolution Week is back — and this year it’s local. South London Style, hosted by The WIP, is putting the power of change directly into your hands with a community-led event that mixes education, action, and seriously good swapping.
Start with a panel talk featuring changemakers tackling fashion waste, then dive into an exclusive clothes swap hosted by the legends at Verte. Bring up to five items, earn tokens based on quality and condition, and shop the pop-up like it’s your own curated boutique. Leftover tokens? Use them at another Verte event later. Come for the swap, stay for the revolution.
6. Unity Diner Returns — With London’s First Vegan Carvery
📅 Reopening Friday 4th April | Sunday Carvery Launches 20th April
📍 60 Wentworth Street, E1 7AL
🎟️ Bookings now open | Plan your visit: Unity Diner on In Good Company
After a tearful and shocking farewell at the start of the year, Unity Diner is back — and better than ever. Thanks to some fresh investment and long chats with the landlord, this much-loved vegan diner and cocktail bar is reopening with a new menu, the return of familiar faces, and something special: London’s first 100% vegan Sunday carvery.
Expect epic plant-based comfort food, cocktails, and all the good vibes — with every bite supporting Surge animal Sanctuary. Welcome back, UD — we missed you.
7. Easter Egg Hunts at Mercato Metropolitano
📅 Sunday 20th April
📍 All MM Sites across London
🎟️ Free entry | Plan your visit: Mercato Metropolitano, Mercato Mayfair and Wood Wharf on In Good Company
Get ready to hunt down some tasty treasures this Easter Sunday at Mercato Metropolitano. Their free family-friendly egg hunt kicks off at 11am with sweet prizes (including free Badiani gelato), followed by an adults-only version from 6pm — think cocktails, wine, and street food taster vouchers hidden across the market.
With its community-driven ethos and focus on sustainability, MM is always a good time — and Easter is the perfect excuse to go exploring. PS If you head to their main Elephant and Castle site, make sure you swing by German Kraft Brewery for one of their sustainably brewed super-fresh beers.
8. Celebrate Earth Month in Nature (Yes, Even in London!)
April is Earth Month — the perfect time to reconnect with the planet, get grounded, and soak up some fresh(ish) air. Find a moment to go outside, breathe deeply, and remember why we’re doing all this good stuff in the first place. And believe it or not, London’s full of green pockets that let you do just that. Here’s a few of our favourites:
🌿 St Mary’s Secret Garden – A peaceful, wheelchair-accessible community garden in Hoxton where you’ll find sensory beds, wildflower areas, and even a pond. It’s free to visit and a brilliant reminder of how healing green space can be. Plan your visit
🦆 Camley Street Natural Park – Tucked behind King’s Cross, this hidden gem is home to wetlands, woodlands and wildlife galore. Wander through the greenery, spot birds, or just bring a book and slow down for a bit by the water. Plan your visit
🐐 Hackney City Farm – Meet donkeys, goats, chickens and more just minutes from the bustle of Hackney Road. A local favourite for families (or grown-ups in need of a wholesome reset). Plan your visit
