Celebrations of St George in London | 21-23 April
Celebrations of St George this year ranges from the traditional to the contemporary, from markets and storytelling, to a fusion of hip-hop and morris dancing. Since it is little known that St George is not only the patron saint of England, but also Georgia, Spain, and Portugal, Borough Market is celebrating this mix of culture through produce and pop-ups.
