Not for the first time whilst in town for a London Flickr Group photowalk I happened upon a 'Drive' by Travellers and Gypsies. They're quite a sight (and sound) but not the easiest things to photograph.

By the way, if you live in London or are just passing through then you might be interested to know that the London Flickr Group regularly hold free photowalks. The next one will be in early February and we'll be announcing details shortly here : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/

From www.travellerstimes.org.uk/news/2024/12/get-london-christ... , "Every year in mid-December, the Christmas Drive is held in London. This year, 257 horses and their families gathered for the drive, gliding through central London in their beautifully decorated, festive carriages.

The drive is not only a heart-warming event in the community’s life before Christmas but also serves as one of the last year-end drives for the Traveller and Gypsy community – although there will be a few Boxing Day drives dotted about the country, but not nearly as big and not in London.

The London drive encourages participants to take part in fundraising and donation efforts. This year’s fundraiser aimed to purchase toys for The Salvation Army, helping them provide children’s gifts for Christmas."
