From a rooftop in Stratford that\u2019s been described as a \u2018playground for adults\u2019<\/a> to an \u2018adult beach club\u2019 in the middle of Croydon<\/a>, London definitely has some incredible days out.<\/p>\n And there\u2019s one in particular that locals cannot stop raving about.<\/p>\n Electric Summer<\/a> is a sprawling, sun-soaked, fairground situated right next to the iconic Battersea Power Station.<\/p>\n With rides, attractions, street food, and an entire stand dedicated to chocolate covered strawberries, it\u2019s no surprise that one TikTok creator recently described it as the \u2018best summer hangout spot in the city\u2019.<\/p>\n Explaining that she\u2019d spent the entire summer hunting down the capital\u2019s best days out, @primrosejess told her followers: \u2018If I could only recommend one thing to do in London this August\u2026 It\u2019d be this\u2019.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tAsk Metro<\/p>\n Use AI to go deeper into the stories you care about \u2013 powered by Metro and trusted publications.<\/p>\n So, what makes this place so worthwhile? <\/p>\n \t\t Keeping Londoners entertained is no simple task. Thankfully, Electric Summer has the activities covered.<\/p>\n The main attraction is the Big Wheel, boasting gorgeous views of the Thames. Or, if you fancy a bit more of a thrill, the Wave Swinger has also proved a big hit.<\/p>\n If heights aren\u2019t your thing, there\u2019s still plenty to keep you busy. <\/p>\n Lean into the nostalgia with a go on the bumper cars, or why not test your balance at the roller rink, with themed sessions taking place almost every day? <\/p>\n \t\t\t\tLatest London news\t\t\t<\/p>\n To get the latest news from the capital, visit Metro’s London news hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n After a recent trip to Electric Summer, TikToker @maryaam shared that \u2018one visit was not enough\u2019, adding \u2018going around at sunset was such a vibe, it was so cute and the views were amazing\u2019.<\/p>\n Another satisfied customer, @z.archives, posted that they were \u2018obsessed\u2019 with the fairground.<\/p>\n While entry is free, there are a few things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, this is still London \u2013 everything comes with a price.<\/p>\n The Big Wheel costs \u00a310 for adults (\u00a38 for children) while roller skating tickets start at \u00a315 for adults(\u00a310 for kids).<\/p>\n Some of the more traditional rides and games reportedly start at around \u00a34 each.<\/p>\n \t\t While the costs can quickly add up, the fact that there\u2019s no hefty price tag attached to walking through the front door is definitely a bonus.<\/p>\n The attractions might be tempting, but you could very easily spend an afternoon or evening wandering around the site, taking in the views, maybe buying a beer or two, and leave without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n Of course any respectable day out in London also requires a good range of street food vendors. And, thankfully, Electric Summer got the memo.<\/p>\n Visitors have praised the loaded fries, crab rolls, and fish and chips.<\/p>\n While the sweet treats, including some especially delectable chocolate covered strawberries, were called \u2018a must try\u2019 by @London.discoveries.<\/p>\n Things to know before your visit<\/p>\n Electric Summer won\u2019t be open for too much longer \u2013 officially closing its doors on August 31. So, make sure you plan your visit before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n Doors open at 10am and shut at 10pm, meaning you\u2019ll be able to catch some stunning sunset views.<\/p>\n \t\t If you\u2019re coming from the Tube at Battersea Power Station, walk straight towards the riverfront and the iconic chimney structure.<\/p>\n You should see the Coaling Jetty in front of you and the entrance to the fairground.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no need to book ahead of time, just walk straight in and enjoy yourself!<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SEI_308405819-b6cc.jpg\")
