London is so awesome this summer you should forget the price of airline tickets and high exchange rate, and just bite the bullet. May we make a recommendation? How about the Hide and Seek Festival (June 27th through the 29th)? We mentioned it a little while ago in connection with Snap-Shot-City, and now it’s here! The Southbank fest features everything from lectures on the future of play to digital/real world mashup, and even a tour guide who pretends London has turned into Tokyo. Brought to you by the Blast Theory Artists group and more, these alternative reality games are touting themselves to be the future of fun. Almost all the events are free, have a look at the list and sign up for something.
