A definite highlight of the festival is the BT River of Music on July 21st-22nd, featuring a variety of free music at landmarks along the River Thames.

You'll see traditional music from Asia at Battersea Park, from the Americas at the Tower of London, from Africa at London Pleasure Gardens and home-grown talent at Trafalgar Square and Somerset House.
