Fowlers Troop 2012

Posted on 10:30 PM by Unknown
Deptford Fowlers Troop did their annual May Day procession yesterday, featuring the Jack in the Green, musicians and various outlandish costumes. They started out in Southwark Street, went over London Bridge and around the City (where I took these photos) then back over the Millennium Bridge to Bankside.
