  • Morris man and lunchtime drinkers gather in Leadenhall Market on St George's Day, when 'Englishmen' celebrate their patron saint. Wearing white uniforms they jig their traditional dance, a form of English folk dance accompanied by accordion and pipes. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers. Implements such as sticks, swords, and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers. In a small number of dances for one or two men, steps are performed near and across a pair of clay tobacco pipes laid across each other on the floor. English records of Morris dancing date back to 1448.

  • A traditional band of Morris Men dance outside the ancient Christian church of St. Botolph's without Bishopsgate in the City of London on St George's Day. Wearing white uniforms they jig their traditional dance, a form of English folk dance accompanied by accordion and pipes. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers. Implements such as sticks, swords, and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers. In a small number of dances for one or two men, steps are performed near and across a pair of clay tobacco pipes laid across each other on the floor.

The church may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb.

  • An eccentric woman lifts a leg while hoovering a red carpet in London's Bond Street before Vogue's Fashion's Night Out festival in the streets of the West End. Running the cleaning device across her business' carpet that has been placed across the otherwise drab pavement, the female member of staff makes an impromptu jig while holding the nozzle of the hoover as other employees laugh and giggle at her sudden show of eccentricity.
