Tickets Alert: Take sheep across Southwark Bridge
Briefly

If you're a Freeman (or freewoman) of the City of London, then you can exercise your ancient right to take sheep across one of London's bridges this coming September.It's both an ancient right of doubtful origins and a modern tradition of very clear heritage.Whatever the origins of the story that only Freeman could take sheep across London Bridge, the rule, such as it was is no longer applicable, and the police will take a very dim view of anyone attempting it without permission.
