The last of the great summer weather ruffled our hair and blew the fluffy clouds away over the distant pinnacles of East London.
The Thames Festival lined up along the edges of the great meandering river, with a dizzying quantity of stalls promoting the foods and cultures of an equally impressive number of different countries. Spanish paella, Polish cakes, Korean kimchi with a free corresponding cookery book (score!), masks from Eastern Europe and a dude dressed as something resembling the Baba Yaga were distributed amongst the crowd, along with an abundance of ice cream cones and Pimms.
Later, the sun died down and the closing fireworks were set off in myriad colours.
A few more reasons to love London.
