Each year, the 26th of January is celebrated in cities across the world as a nod to the arrival of British ships at Sydney Cove in 1788. And thanks to quite the crowd of down under dudes and dames, the capital is certainly no exception. A welcome chance for Aussies and locals to get together and enjoy a good ol' knees-up in honour of the national holiday; we’ve picked out some of the best things to do on Australia Day in London.

The Perky Nel in Clapham is hosting a fantastic Australia Day event this January, serving some of the best Aussie dishes around. You can pair this with a selection of top-notch beers, while boogieing to live music from Australian singer Harry Marshall. Tickets cost just £10 per person, including a complimentary drink on arrival.
Clapham is often known as London's Little Australia, so on the big day, you'll no doubt find some fellow countrymates scoffing down tasty tucker and necking pints at The Falcon. Whether you're heading out with mates or popping in solo, you'll be able to revel in the Aussie holiday here.
If you're on the hunt for an Australia Day dinner in London, Scarlett Green is the Soho spot that's dishing up delights from the land down under. In stunning surrounds, chow down on Aussie BBQ meats or a sashimi-grade tuna steak, and follow it with a Melbourne Mars Bar cheesecake.
Mark Australia Day in East London over at Antipodea, which dishes out tasty Aussie grub and top-notch cocktails in Kew. Whether you're looking to celebrate with a few liquid libations or a meal that tastes like home, this place is coming up trumps.
