Celebrate Bastille Day

Today is Bastille Day, the national day of France, and a free treat for Francophiles is scheduled to take place in Bankside. The 5th year in a series of 'official' such celebrations, we are told, will offer eating, drinking, dancing and singing.


Based around Borough Market and Park Street, the event offers specific French traders at the market, a traditional 14th July Waiters’ Race, pétanque, baby-foot and other things. It will either be good, or a cheese-maker-sponsored disappointment.
