  • A vibrant route covering roughly two miles (3.2 km) with spectacular floats, classic cars, giant inflatables and a colourful cast of characters.

Tips:

  • Arrive early to grab a good viewing spot along Piccadilly or Trafalgar Square - these fill up fast.
  • Either side of the parade route offers great views; if you’re sensitive to loud music/announcements, consider a spot further down Whitehall. Expect road closures and large crowds - public transport may be busy.
