Celebrating British Eccentricity at the 2016 Chap Olympiad

In just under a month, the world’s gaze will fall on Rio de Janeiro for the start of the 2016 Olympics. But a very different kind of games were just held at the 12th annual Chap Olympiad, in the Bloomsbury district of London. Hundreds gathered to forget about Brexit for a day and celebrate British eccentricity. And show an undying love of tweed and  tea. Photographs by Charlie Kwai/Bloomberg
