Pancake Races (Shrove Tuesday)
.
Traditional races take place across London. The tradition dates from the time when people would use all the ingredients left in their pantries to make a pancake before the fasting of Lent began. Now, races are held where the competitors flip pancakes in frying pans as they run, endeavouring to be the first to cross the line.
Covent Garden and Lincoln's Inn Fields
