London's largest free festival, the London Bridge City's Summer by the River transforms the riverside stretch into a summer hub of live entertainment, food and drink. Transporting Londoners to warmer climes, the festival has a brand new Mediterranean theme for 2020 with the chance to feast on pizza, antipasti and olives at Jimmy's pizza parlour and sip on refreshing cocktails at the spritz bar. The outdoor amphitheatre plays host to free open air cinema, big screen summer sports, live comedy, and music and theatre performances. Weekly Friyay! parties will welcome the weekend in style while the Saturday workshops and storytelling are ideal for family fun. Following the successful launch last year, the Acoustic Stage in Hay's Galleria also returns where you can hear musicians perform live.

About London Bridge

Up until 1750 London Bridge was the only bridge straddling the Thames and linking Southwark (the 'South Works') with Londinium. The bridge, in its various incarnations, has been built and re-built, destroyed by fire - three times - and sold since it was first constructed in 53 AD. More about London Bridge
