London owes its very existence to the Thames and the Londoners celebrate their city with the Mayor's Thames Festival this weekend.As pictured, Tower Bridge had to be lifted for some of the historical ships who took part at the river parade. There was a Feast on the Southwark Bridge with a lot of activities promoting environmental friendly activities, some art installations, theatre, music and a lot of stalls.
As the festival is mainly financed by sponsors, there was this Cadbury stall where a women chef created Tower Bridge in chocolate. Didn't look very tempting to me, though.I spend the evening with Polly and her friend celebrating her birthday. She had chosen a very nice pub called The Scolt Head. Although the noise level in this popular pub put my language abilities to the test, I could follow the conversation quite well and enjoyed the evening very much.
