The local community come together for the Big Jubilee BYO Picnic

Jubilee Lunch

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee maybe behind us but the memories live on and no more so than the ‘St John's Wood Platinum Jubilee Bring Your Own (BYO) Picnic’ held in the St John’s Wood Church Gardens on Sunday 5th June. 

Organised by the St John’s Wood Society & St John’s Wood Church and supported by your local ward councillors, over 200 local residents gathered for a one in a life-time event.

 As one resident who attended said ‘what a wonderful way to celebrate with the local community to raise a glass to Her Majesty’.  And as Cllr Swaddle commented ‘we were delighted to support this milestone event not only via our ward budget but also to ensure the Council gave the appropriate permissions, it was fantastic to see so many of our residents attending and enjoying this special occasion’.
