Sylleptic

About 20 million people seemed to have made it down to the South Bank this weekend for the Thames Festival, though it doesn’t seem to have got much news coverage. They closed Southwark Bridge on Saturday for a food fair, and it was so busy they had to stop people going up the steps from the Embankment. A highlight was the Transe Express performance, in which several crazy musicians and trapeze artists were suspended in a metal contraption with winches and pullies, to play some drums and bells. Very odd.
