This excerpt from the compilation Filming the Unusual, showcases some of the quirkier phenomena that the borough plays host to, aside from capturing some of Newham's most well-known sites, such as London City Airport and the North Woolwich Station Railway Museum. Swish down the dry ski slope at Beckton Alps or enjoy a special Boxing Day ceremony - a parade of carol singers on horseback trotting down the road before entertaining local residents and receiving a tasty reward.
