Celebrate St. Patrick's Day in London

Friday March 7, 2008
Although St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, here in London we too like to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day is actually on 17 March but we celebrate on the weekend nearest to that date so the big Parade and Festival are on Sunday 16 March 2008. It's a busy one, so you'd better read up in advance on the St. Patrick's Day in London celebrations and see some photos from previous years.

To get you in the mood, I'd recommend a pint of Guinness in one of London's Top Irish Pubs. Or try another one of the Top 10 Favorite Irish Drinks.
