The Jack in the Green tradition is often associated with chimney sweeps
The Deptford Jack in the Green is a revival of an old May Day tradition where a large foliage-covered framework is paraded through the streets.
Since the early 1980s Fowlers Troop has toured Deptford, Greenwich, the Borough or the City of London every May Day.
This year's route was firmly in SE1, starting and finishing at the Market Porter in Borough Market.
Pubs visited included the Founders Arms on Bankside, The Stamford Arms on Stamford Street, The Charles Dickens in Union Street, The Lord Clyde in Clennam Street, The Royal Oak in Tabard Street and The Wheatsheaf in Southwark Street.
