LONDON'S LEGENDARY LANDSCAPE
Thursday 9 January
8pm at The Old King's Head, Kings Head Yard, 45-49 Borough High Street; �2.50 (conc �1.50); reservations [email protected]
London's statues and stones have stories stuck to them along with the chewing gum and pigeon poo. Tonight Scott Wood tells tales and dissects legends of the walking statue of Brandy Nan, insulting sculptures, sculptors driven to suicide by a mistake, Hitler's office for when he ruled London and as much more as he can squeeze in about London's legendary landscape. Urban legends may not be true but they tell do truths about out what people think and feel about the landscape and landmarks around them. Scott is the author of London Urban Legends: The Corpse on the Tube, the author of the Fortean London column for Londonist co-organiser and host of the London Fortean Society and ran South East London Folklore Society for eight noisy and chaotic years.

BLESSING OF THE RIVER THAMES
Sunday 12 January
12.30pm at London Bridge
The clergy and congregations of Southwark Cathedral and the church of St Magnus the Martyr, whose parish boundaries meet on London Bridge, process to the centre for a short service. This Thames tradition follows the Orthodox custom of hurling a cross into water as a symbol of Christ's baptism which is celebrated on the Sunday after the Epiphany. The annual London Bridge event, which draws on ancient customs, was established nine years ago at the initiative of Fr Philip Warner, parish priest at St Magnus.
