As September creeps up on us, evening light begins to fade and the promise of warmth is replaced with the prospect of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But fear not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September is an exciting time to be in London and, if anything, having a month with a bit of sun which doesn\u2019t fry you like a Walkers crisp and cause you to have sleepless nights lying in a bed of sweat is surely more appealing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the top events that are not to be missed in London this September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Totally Thames &#8211; 1st to 30th September<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hop on board for a month-long celebration of London\u2019s very own river Thames. All kinds of exciting events and attractions will be yours for the taking in September including a mass regatta where you can test your paddle game, an impressive display of children\u2019s paintings for you to marvel at (and wonder how a 5-year-old can draw better than you!), and even the opportunity to tango your way down the Thames &#8211; because walking and sailing are so last year. What are you waiting for? Get rolling with the Thames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/totallythames.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"\/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/totally-thames-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Totally Thames\" class=\"wp-image-2862\" srcset=\"\/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/totally-thames-1024x538.jpg 1024w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/totally-thames-300x158.jpg 300w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/totally-thames-768x403.jpg 768w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/totally-thames.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>WineFest South Africa &#8211; 1st September<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think we don\u2019t celebrate the sweet nectar of the grape often enough?
