London naked Bike Ride 2026
14 June 2026 Westminster Bridge Patrol
London Naked Bike ride took part on 14 June 2026 as part of world naked cycle day where cyclists took part in joining up from various points in London and converging on Westminster Bridge followed by a peaceful demonstration regarding various climate related causes.
Two volunteers attended keeping an eye on the Bridge and kept a look out for pickpockets whilst tourists were distracted watching hundreds of cyclists crossing the bridge.
Once the event was over it was business as usual -llegal street trading - scammers - illegal gambling and pickpockets
With the costume scammers, we had Mickey Mouse and were able to prevent a group of ladies on an outing with their dogs being scammed. we arrived in the nick of time.
We engaged with the costume character and reminded them of the regulations on the bridge, Once we leave they will return but we try to make sure tourists are not scammed and harassed when we are present.
Photography
There are usually photographers on the bridge but it is not permitted to sell photographs or ask for donations.
The type of photographers vary and some provide nice souveneirs however it is illegal and there are those that will scam and exploit tourists so buyer beware.
We took a photos when asked by tourists using their own mobile phones which they were grateful for, they are then able to have aphoto taken together with all members in the group and we make sure they don't get run over.
Today there were some photographers who had concealed their equipment and others who we had engaged with to remind them of the rules.
New paragraph
There were less food vendors today, these are usually unlicensed hot dog carts and candiesd peanuts.
Some of these have been heavily fined previously but still worth their while to continue illegal trading.
Look out for each other and stay safe.
