Family Weekend
lord mayor

It’s the end of the week and as you’d expect there’s loads going on this Remembrance weekend. Here’s our favourite five.

===========

Take in some of the best of British pageantry at the annual Lord Mayor’s Show. The FREE to see three mile procession – which takes in St Paul’s Cathedral, the Royal Courts Of Justice and Blackfriars – can trace its history back more than 800 years to a time London had a mere 15,00 residents.

The highlight is, of course, the gold coloured 18th Century stagecoach which whisks the big man round. The march starts at 11.03 after a minute’s silence for Armistice Day.

Sat 11th Nov, 11.03am: The Lord Mayor’s Show
From Mansion House, Walbrook, EC4N 8BH
FREE – just show up. For the full route and more info click here


Skater brand, Vans is flip-kicking in to Waterloo for a FREE one day take-over of the Arches. Expect a mix of music, street art and, of course, skateboarding at the riverside venue.

There’ll be skate classes, film screenings, brand giveaways plus your chance to customise your pair of Vans!

Sat 11th Nov, 1pm – 6pm: Vans Takeover
Arches 228-232, Station Approach Road, SE1 8SW 
FREE – To book ahead and for more info click here


Eye4ChangeHere’s your chance to improve your photo-taking while giving to a good cause in East London. The Brick Lane Photo Walk – led by pro photographer Xenia Demetriou – takes in some of the culturally rich streets around Shoreditch and Spitalfields. Every standard welcome be it on DLR, camera or iPhone!

Tickets cost a tenner. All proceeds go to the charity Eye4Change which supports community projects in the capital.

Sun 12th Nov, 11am – 1pm: Brick Lane Photo Walk

Put That Light Out!There’s a chance to remember all those who’ve fallen in battle with an afternoon of poems, stories and song at Crystal Palace’s sole surviving air raid shelter.

Put That Light Out! at the eerie and beautiful Crystal Palace Subway will begin with an air raid siren in addition to a minute’s silence and a playing of the Last Post. Local poets and musicians will retell moving stories of those who died in two World Wars and in conflicts since.

Sat 11th Nov, 2pm – 4pm: Put That Light Out!
Crystal Palace Subway, Crystal Palace Parade, SE19 1LG
