Mayor of London
The Mayor’s message…
“A two-day spectacular showcasing the breadth of London's culture, the Thames Festival creates a carnival on your doorstep, a chance for all the family to enjoy the city of London, and its most precious asset, the River Thames.
Supporting the festival, and its exciting education programmes, is a great way of celebrating the role London plays in your business and social lives, promoting creativity in schools and connecting with the rich diversity of people and cultures that makes London such a wonderful place to live and to visit.
The festivities will continue to place the capital firmly in the international spotlight in the run up to London’s Olympic celebrations in 2012, raising further the city’s profile to the world.”
Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London
