If you stumbled mistakenly onto Savile Row today you may have had to double take…the grass underfoot and the bleating of sheep replaced the cars and traffic noise..and made a very small part of London positively rural.
The Row went from a typically traffic filled London street to a slice of the countryside, well almost. Chaps in wellies descended this morning complete with a flock or 2 of sheep and a couple of sheepdogs.
They were kicking off National Wool Week, an initiative started by Prince Charles to promote British wool.. using natural fibres and British cloth is at the very heart of Savile Row and so turfing the road and pulling in the crowds seemed a fitting way to celebrate the cause.
