Spring: the Six Nations brings England to Twickenham, and May belongs to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
Summer: June starts with grass-court tennis at Queen’s Club and stadium concerts at Wembley and Tottenham, followed by Wimbledon from late June into July. England cricket plays at Lord’s and The Oval through the summer.
Late summer: the BBC Proms season runs at the Royal Albert Hall through the summer and ends with the Last Night of the Proms in September, as the autumn arena season begins.
