For nearly 800 years, Lord Mayor’s Show is an annual event which has been taking place over the streets of London. In the parade the Lord Mayor travels in a gilded State Coach and over 60,000 people, bands, over 140 decorated floats, costumed performers take part. During the parade river barges are piled high with explosives and set adrift on the Thames with several brave men on board. Grab the best seats in the house in the public gallery of the Oxo Tower to get excellent view of the event. If you do not want to miss any point, be there around the Embankment and Gabriel’s Wharf. At 11 am the procession leaves Mansion House after an RAF flypast and travels via St Paul’s, the Royal Courts of Justice and Victoria Embankment before returning from Victoria Embankment to Mansion House at 2pm and reaching Mansion House at about 4pm. With an impressive firework displays at 5 pm the grand finale day finishes.
