the soho waiters' race is a curious affair which takes place every year as a part of the soho festival, the waiters carrying a tray with a glass and a bottle around the streets of soho. although it is a race, few of those taking part make a great effort to hurry, and it is more about taking part than winning.

swan upping is an annual event, counting swans along the thames from sunbury to abingdon takes a week. the crown decided it was a good thing to claim the swans around the 12th century, so they could gorge themselves on them at banquets, they let some of their rich mates in the city have a share, but protected them from the people by severe penalties. swans are seldom eaten now, but upping continues to divide the thames birds between the crown, they dyers and the vintners.
