On 24th March 2013 Instagramers London will be 2 years old, which also coincides with the 2nd anniversary of the first Worldwide Instameet (whatever happened to those?).

.

On Saturday 23rd March the London Instagram community set sail along the river Thames for a special birthday party instacruise. With our sea legs, deck shoes and sailor hats they stepped aboard the ‘Viscountess’ Thames cruiser for a floating photowalk past many our favourite iconic London sights.

We had a photo contests along the way, sponsored by our good friends at InstablockOlloclip,PrintagramStickygram and Blurb.

.

When we returned to shore we headed to The Rose pub on Albert Embankment, where prizes were awarded for some of the best photos of the day, and we raised a glass or three to the awesome London Instagram community, and sang Happy Birthday to us!

If you couldn’t be with us for the celebrations, you can find the day’s events by checking our birthday hashtags #igerslondonis2 and #instacruiseLDN.

Over the past two years Instagramers London has held nearly 100 meetups, hosted by many of our most active community members.  They range from informal photowalks to big sponsored events, the biggest being our recent Instameet as part of our Iconic London 2012 exhibition.  Throughout 2012 we held our monthly 12.12.12 photo challenges where the winners and finalists were exhibited at the @iLondon2012 exhibition, and the prints sold off in aid of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.  During the past year we have welcomed visitors from around the world, embracing our city for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 summer Olympics.

Let’s see what 2013 will bring….
