Not so Square

It seems only tourists and cinemagoers are attracted to Leicester Square these days. So it's a pleasant surprise to learn that Westminster council are trying to make the area more appealing to Londoners.

Over the summer, from Friday 25 July , an ongoing programme of events will be held in the Square.

You can see Mr Punch on Fri 25 Jul, while on Sat 26 Jul, 1pm & 2.15pm, the South London Jazz Orchestra will play big band sounds by Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller.

Other performers include the Pantasia Steelband, Croydon Steel Orchestra, London All Stars and Stick Fingers.

Make your way down there and show your support for this great idea.
