There’s nothing like a day out with the family in one of London’s parks or open spaces; the kids playing on a climbing frame and parents relaxing in the shade, discussing the how tos of child rearing. The River Thames Festival is the perfect occasion for such an outing in London, as summer draws to a close and daylight hours get shorter.
The River Thames Festival (also known as the Mayor’s Thames Festival) marks the end of summer in London with flair – the two-day carnival includes street entertainment, art installations, a festival market focused on ethically-sourced produce, and a spectacular fireworks display over the River Thames. From Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge, Londoners can experience a celebration of the city’s famous waterway, the Thames.
