With two months to go until the start of the Volvo Ocean Race Camper's entry made a dramatic arrival in Europe when she sailed up the River Thames and through Tower Bridge, one of London's most iconic landmarks.

The event was also a symbolic return to London for the Spanish footwear company as 134 years previously the grandfather of the current Camper President sailed up the River Thames to learn more about the shoe industry and returned to Mallorca with one of the world's first industrial shoe-making machines.
