Hundreds of families flocked to George Lane on 19 June to enjoy the family-friendly festivities of the Platinum Jubilee Market.
“The northbound carriageway was closed for the event, which gave much more space for the stalls, and for people to mingle. It was such a novelty to be able to walk in the road – which quickly became a blank canvas for chalk art,” said a spokesperson for the South Woodford Society, which organised the day in partnership with Ace Events. Alongside the street food stalls, residents were able to take part in craft activities and games, with live music and a dance class also on offer.
“Local businesses did really well too, and it was amazing to see our whole community celebrating our Queen’s Jubilee and just loving being together. It exceeded all our expectations by a mile!”
