Well, seeing the world at once, naturally summer events happen not only in London. Check some from the world.
Here is from Spain:
This is the very famous tomato fight in Bunyol, Spain. People throw tomatoes, and enjoy the summer time. Every year, world travelers join the event, and turn into red. Some people says, "swimming glasses are necessary to join," However, some tell, "it's dangerous to wear it because it may hurt you or other people." Like this, the information is a little vogue, check when you get there. (I before heard the seeds of tomatoes are obstacles... I'm not sure the condition. Please comment it if you get there.)
Here two from South and North Korea:
For EXPO 2012, it's the world EXPO this year, a lot of countries join the event. Now it's behind of the London olympics, nobody cares about the information. However, if you are interested in, you can check it out.
In California, this August is a little special because festivals named "Old Spanish Days" happen in towns. They normally have small community parades, and some Spanish culture events. Anyway, seeing festivals are interesting because they are based on the community cultures.
People call about the United States "Salad Bowl." In some specific origin towns in the US like Danish, Swiss, French, Japanese etc, also have similar festivals. Now you can enjoy the culture, and also it's a chance to discover something about your own origins.

"Carnival" by the Cardigans (1994)
Originally, "Carnival" is the season before Easter. Rio's Carnival in Brazil is famous. However, the word becomes general, now people sometimes use for festive seasons.
The Cardigans is from Sweden. In 1996, their song "Lovefool" was selected for Leonardo DiCaprio's film "Lomeo + Juliet." This film was based on William Shakespeare's story.

If you are in London, there is a big theatre named "Globe Theatre" that you can visit. This theatre was well-known for the premiere of Shakespeare's plays, but closed in 1642. In 1997, the theatre was re-build, and is now open to public. It's one of the landmarks in London.
London Olympics happens around the centre of London. From every olympic places, you can get a lot of historical and newly landmarks. If you get there and have time, it's a good idea to walk around downtown.
[Additional Information(7/23)]
My words were a little short.
Is "Carnival" a little strange? Maybe you think so, but I didn't think so because now the harvest just comes soon. Every athlete tries to get a medals. Maybe you see the lyrics. Now every athlete is also doing the same thing. They hide their ways, and plan how to cheat each other.
Anyway, from next time, I should make it some more simple.
