Im running Sinners Saints and Saviours in September as part of the #ThamesFestival programme. We visit crossbones and historic locations along the Thames where women lived, worked and built old Southwark. Hear stories of the sex workers, the reformers, those that devoted themselves to religion
Maybe some of that was last weekend, but by losing its focuses of both time and locations, it really feels like it's died. #thamesfestival
Stalls at More London/Potters Fields and South Bank near Nat Theatre, but nowhere else at all. No stage outside Tate Modern. #thamesfestival
Wow, #thamesfestival is seriously underwhelming. Walked from Tower Bridge to Southbank Centre, saw empty spaces where festivities once were.
There *are* #thamesfestival fireworks after all - made of lights under a railway bridge ;) https://vine.co/v/hnJWnu1x125
Where all the people who aren't at the #thamesfestival are (at @BoroughMarket w/ 28 others) http://4sq.com/19RWFGU
One of our #StandTall friends from our recent trip to Colchester Zoo, currently in More London #thamesfestival http://flic.kr/p/fQFJW2
Everyone, come to Potters Fields Park by City Hall and buy some tasty macaroni cheese from lonely @anna_maes stallholders :) #thamesfestival
Just reached the riverside as Tower Bridge started opening to let this tall ship through! #thamesfestival http://flic.kr/p/fQFfrB
So the 2 highlights of #Southbanquet are things Boris has axed from #thamesfestival - banquet by river & collaboratively decorated K+C cake.
Fireworks! http://twitpic.com/asxskr http://twitpic.com/asxsr3 http://twitpic.com/asxtdo #thamesfestival
http://twitpic.com/asw05l Loads of people preparing for the #thamesfestival parade around the South Bank area atm, including this nice van!
Right then, we've walked the length of the #thamesfestival, and my last Ambassador shift starts now! #THEEND
Woohoo, @Anna_Maes is between Nat Theatre & Gabriel's Wharf! *eats macaroni cheese with bacon on it* #thamesfestival
Interesting afternoon shift at More London - lots of setting up for tomorrow's #thamesfestival was underway, including building a Co-Op Food
#thamesfestival fireworks not bad, although a shame they were half an hour late and started with a big flaming Barclaycard logo on the river
http://twitpic.com/6jjvtw It's the twenty-odd skeletal horsemen of the #thamesfestival parade apocalypse! The end must surely be nigh!
Not certain but think dance troupe was announced as "the wild girls from the Thames Tunnel". Live in the archways, do they? #thamesfestival
http://twitpic.com/6jj4p9 This big horse thing just attacked us all! :) #thamesfestival
Watching the first #thamesfestival parade we've ever actually got to, under Waterloo Bridge. Skeletons, music, London on a plate - all here!
#thamesfestival crowd tolerance limit reached - taken back streets to Southbank Centre, which is also rammed - except in the Members' Bar :)
All aboard the Clipper - lovely day for it! http://twitpic.com/6jfzwq #thamesfestival
Dashing between festivals now as we head back into London for some street food at Tate Modern, using #thamesfestival 2-for-1 boat voucher :)
Hrm, no sign of a mashup, just straightforward swing - and a rude Headline Security woman who made us take a ludicrous route #thamesfestival
Our walking voyage along the Thames is complete in time for this mashup next to @southbankcentre! http://twitpic.com/6itz5k #thamesfestival
Anyone who doesn't like crowds would be well advised to avoid the South Bank between Gabriel's Wharf & National Theatre: wow #thamesfestival
Woohoo, we've successfully located @Anna_Maes - I know where to find my mid-afternoon macaroni cheese with bacon tomorrow :9 #thamesfestival
Tower Bridge just opened! #win #thamesfestival http://twitpic.com/6irg96 http://twitpic.com/6irgn7
Well, that was quite a racket - impressive :) More HMS Belfast-drumming at 4, 5, 7.45 & 8.30pm today if you missed it! #thamesfestival
