On 7th May 2023, Merchants Landing residents gathered along Bathurst Parade for a tea party to mark the coronation of Charles III. Residents brought a tempting selection of food and wine and the Residents Association provided a complimentary glass of prosecco. And unlike London on Coronation Day, the weather was sunny and warm. Passers-by walking along Bathurst Parade were invited to join in – and many did.
