The Frost Fair
Unusually cold weather has caused the river Thames to freeze solid. Local townsmen have suggested a fare be arranged on the riverside, with various stalls and attractions set up on the ice, including food vendors, taverns, games, and even small shops. Entertainment such as ice skating, sledding, and horse and coach races would be part of the celebrations.
There is even talk of a makeshift bridge, that would allow people to cross from one side of the river to the other without having to navigate the icy surface.

21167historical_info = flavor_eng.210.historical_info The Frost Fair of 1683 was a sizeable event that lasted around 2 months. The event was extensively documented, including engravings, pamphlets, and written accounts. It was a remarkable and memorable occurrence in London's history, and it has not been repeated in the same way since due to changes in the river's flow and the construction of embankments.
