London, UK. 10th December 2016. Three pirates came along with the thousands dressed as Santas, as well as a few elves, reindeer and others in Christmas-themed costumes on their way along four routes into central London determined to have fun. Many carried bags with cans of beer or bottles of wine which they drank on route and at stops where they sang and danced and jousted, with the occasional Brussels sprout fight between santas and elves.

London, UK. 10th December 2016. Three pirates came along with the thousands dressed as Santas, as well as a few elves, reindeer and others in Christmas-themed costumes on their way along four routes into central London determined to have fun. Many carried bags with cans of beer or bottles of wine which they drank on route and at stops where they sang and danced and jousted, with the occasional Brussels sprout fight between santas and elves. Santacon has rules, though these are not always followed, but this year the event did seem rather more organised and tame, lacking some of the anarchic charm and chaos that brought much of London's traffic to a halt in previous years - or perhaps I just took these pictures earlier in the day before the Christmas spirits, wine and beer had really kicked in.
