London comes alive with the sound, taste and look of the Irish. The traditional colours of green, orange and white are paraded through the streets in honour of the patron Saint of Ireland St Patrick. This Festival encompasses dance, music, food, crafts and of course a great deal of drinking. Work shops can be found at Leicester Square for all ages and running from 11am and a great selection of Irish foods and Whiskey can be found at London’s Covent Garden.
