On your bikes!
EU Ambassadors joined Swedish Ambassador Staffan Carlsson and Margot Wallström, Sweden’s Vice-President of the European Commission, on a cycle ride from the Ambassador’s residence up to Hampstead Heath to mark the launch of Sweden’s ‘green’ presidency of the EU. They were rewarded with front-row seats at the Sweden on Stage concert featuring Abba legend Benny Andersson and his band.
