Planned in partnership with the City of London Police: aiming to keep you safe. cityoflondon.police.uk/staysafe
The Lord Mayor’s Show website is sponsored by the London Stock Exchange Group
Girlguiding UK will be making sure none of the Show participants go hungry on the day by distributing lunch.
For more information visit www.lordmayorsshow.london or call 020 7332 3456 or download the official Show App Between then more than 7,000 people, 200 horses and over 150 floats will be entertaining the crowds as they travel from Mansion House to the Royal Courts of Justice and back in a riotous display of colour, sound and imagination.
The gold coach, Sheriffs, pikemen, musketeers, City Marshall, Gog and Magog, Aldermen and liverymen all represent the rich history of the day and its original purpose of ‘showing’ the new Lord Mayor to the people. But along with the best of the ‘old’, these elements are joined by the best of the ‘new’ that demonstrate the modern outlook of the City – community groups, charities, companies, military units, overseas trade organisations and plenty of musicians.
The day starts and ends on the Thames: a river arrival by the new Lord Mayor in the morning and a spectacular fireworks display at the end of the afternoon.
The City of London has always known how to put on a good show but even for the Square Mile the Lord Mayor’s Show is something special.
The City has plenty of train, tube and bus links so you don’t need to drive but please check for any service changes. 0343 222 1234 tfl.gov.uk If you are planning to drive please be aware that there will be significant road closures and restrictions to accommodate the procession so check our website in advance. cityoflondon.gov.uk/roadclosures

RIA How do you top the TO VIC procession? Only with one of the most popular parts of Lord Mayor’s Day - the spectacular free firework display on the Thames. This is the last remaining free firework display in London’s calendar and attracts huge crowds so allow plenty of time and get there early. Best viewing positions are along Victoria Embankment and the South Bank.

You won’t need to worry about your view of the big day being ruined if you buy tickets for the grandstands next to and opposite St Paul’s Cathedral. These give a bird’s eye view of the procession as it approaches St Paul’s from New Change. Fully wheelchair accessible spaces are also available but book early as they go fast. 03332 406 003 lordmayorsshow.london/day/grandstands
It’s best to arrive early for clear views of the Show, especially if you have kids. There’s no seating but you can bring folding chairs. Busiest parts are around St Paul’s and Mansion House but Cheapside, Fleet Street, Victoria Embankment and Queen Victoria Street are often more manageable. N

The procession is about three miles in length and will take about an hour to pass you.
If you can’t wait for the procession, you can get an early glimpse of the new Lord Mayor arriving via the Thames in the Queen’s Row Barge Gloriana. Head for one of the City’s five bridges to view the flotilla travelling to Tower Bridge (which will open in salute).
