They came, they saw, they trotted on! - London Xmas drive 2022
5 December 2022
Hundreds of Gypsies, Travellers and friends from all over the UK converged on Wapping with their horses and carts, east London, last Saturday, to take part in the London Christmas Horse Drive. About 60 - 100 lots braved the cold, chilly - but thankfully dry - weather to complete the drive which went from Wapping, through Camden, onto Soho and then Buckingham Palace and finishing at Borough Market, south London.
Travellers' welcome! The Turner's Old Star in Wapping opened specially for the drive to serve breakfasts and beer - and with free tea and coffee!
