If you can't be in Germany with the Munich crowds, then celebrating Oktoberfest in London this year is the next best thing. Taking place across pop-ups, huge beers halls and German venues all around the city, these themed parties and events are brimming with beer, bratwurst and Bavarian bands aplenty.
Prost! 🥨 🥨 🥨

Smart Parties are pulling out all the stops with The London Bierfest, taking place close to London Bridge this October. There will be live oompah bands and other entertainment, to be enjoyed while sipping bottomless steins of German beer and munching on traditional Bavarian dishes. Tickets to this event cost £145 per person, with afternoon and evening sessions to choose from.
Flat Iron Square in the Southwark Quarter is gearing up for a fantastical Oktoberfest on October 5th and 12th. Join the fun with live Oompah music, traditional Bavarian beers, and plenty of games and dancing, all hosted by the lively German Lee. You'll also get to savour delicious Bavarian street food from local vendors, featuring goodies like Bratwurst hot dogs and pork tacos topped with sauerkraut while sipping on Lowenbrau beer served in classic steins.
German Gymnasium will be celebrating Oktoberfest in style. From 20th September to 31st October, you're invited to experience the authentic Bavarian festival in partnership with James Clay and Sons to supply two authentic German beers for the duration of the festival, Warsteiner, and König Ludwig.
In addition to the stellar stein lineup, Head Chef Alex has created the Oktoberfest Spezialitäten featuring the likes of the Schweinebraten, a roast pork collar with red cabbage and dark beer sauce, and the Halbes Hendl, a roast half chicken with warm potato salad. The sounds of the bierhalls of Munich will ring through the restaurant each Friday from 5.30pm to 8.30pm as a live Oompah Band will play classic Bavarian tunes each Friday until the 25th of October.
The Delaunay Counter is getting into the Oktoberfest spirit with a Bavarian makeover. Here, you'll get to enjoy a festive menu featuring delicious bites like käsekrainer and hearty pork knuckle and mushroom stroganoff while jamming to live music from a lively band rocking their festive best lederhosen and dirndls. For those who prefer to sip and savour outdoors, there will also be a stiegl bier cart on the terrace, serving takeaway pints and sweet treats like handmade gingerbread necklaces or extra-long apple strudels.
