Revelers took part in an impromptu game of cricket on a Saturday night on a south London street after bars and pubs closed at 10pm.
Described as a “sweet and exuberant moment of joy,” participants gathered outside Peckham Rye Station with a bat and ball, surrounded by a sizeable crowd.
James Jones, who caught the game on camera, said: “I guess it had started recently when everyone was kicked out of the local pubs and bars.

“I was there for about 10 minutes and it was still going strong.
“Obviously, on social media people project all kinds of points of view.
“Being there was a very sweet and exuberant moment of joy. And we could all use some more joy right now!”
The city’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, urges Londoners to wear a mask and maintain a social distance.
On Sunday he tweeted: “We live in an age where simply wearing a mask could save countless lives.”
It comes after another 15,166 people were reported to have coronavirus on Saturday, along with 81 more deaths from people who died within 28 days of a positive test.
