ROYAL RIVER THAMES PAGEANT


The building of Tower Bridge 1886-1894


The London Bridge of 1831 was sold in 1968


Like a silver thread through the capital


Mustering FROM HAMMERSMITH TO BATTERSEA BRIDGES


This is not offi cially part of the Pageant, but the sight of more than 700 vessels milling around could run a very good second to the event itself for those nervous about the crowds farther downriver. Arrive early to secure a good spot.

BATTERSEA PARK FESTIVAL Noon-7pm: This will be a family-friendly, ticketed event. The park’s river frontage will provide good vantage points, and the festival has all sorts of kitsch fun, like a village fête and classic car-boot sale – there’s even a pop-up pub called ‘The Diamond Geezer’! Adults £5, kids U12 go free. www.ticketmaster.co.uk
