Croydon by night

A late night/white night river cruise also gave us an example of tourist-funded hooning on the water.

Each midnight in the summer the canal cruise boats take out to the River Neva to watch the various bridges across being raised to allow the large ships to navigate the river.

As there are several bridges being raised in turn, this generates much macho if relatively pointless jockeying for position to obtain the best views of this rather modest spectacle for the enthralled thousands of tourists.

See evidence below. Another one of those quite fun things you wouldn't get around to doing in your own town.
