The MJur/BCL: Mayday
By Oxford Blogger 2015 in LLM GUIDE Student Blog: Oxford MJur/BCL 2015-2016 on May 01, 2016
Spring is finally coming to Oxford. Considering it is May already, this was long overdue. This might explain the following spectacle taking place in the early morning hours (from about 0530 on) at Magdalen Bridge and the rest of the City on May 1st: "Mayday". The entire town seems to gather to listen to the Magdalen Boys Choir singing from Magdalen Tower. Some of the people stayed up all night partying until finally coming here (mostly undergraduates, most postgraduates just get up early). On account of this, there is an ubiquitous smell of booze. After the singing is over, the crowd moves downtown to either get breakfast or dance in the streets. The atmosphere in the city is awesome on a Spring morning like this. Especially in quieter streets. The sun is out and we're finally beginning to see some green trees (coming here in fall, I've never seen Oxford trees in green). Most of the events are over at about 0730 and people are finally going (back) to bed.
