Policemen on stilts and lots and lots of dogs
Lawyers from across the country headed down to the hub of legal London yesterday afternoon for the annual London Legal Walk.
Starting at the Law Society, thousands of judges, barristers, solicitors, students, apprentices, clerks, journalists and more walked a scenic 10km route — passing Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and the Royal Courts of Justice on the way — in aid of free legal advice charities in London and the South East.

There was a food van that sold cheese, performers dressed as policemen on stilts, overly enthusiastic stewards, thousands of (very hot and sweaty) walkers and oh so many dogs.
And, thankfully, media savvy lawyers have documented the whole thing on social media for our viewing pleasure. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the best pictures from the after work stroll.
