Mooch - Southbank 2011

During the summer of 2011 the Southbank had fun features to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain in their Summer of Smiles, but sadly they did not reconstruct the Skylon! (26-Jul-2011)

There was a roof garden with a wild area,

and a container based garden with a scarecrow! Mooch monkey visits the Summer of Smiles on the Southbank

One of the most famous sights in London during the summer of 2011 was the giant urban fox which greeted everyone crossing Waterloo bridge!
