Lord Mayor's Show
Mansion House, EC4N 8BH
Saturday 8th November 2008

This annual event has been taking over the streets of London for nearly 800 years now. The parade involves over 6,000 people, military marching bands, Chinese acrobats, a procession of decorated floats and a gilded State Coach that the Lord Mayor travels in. This event features possibly the most dangerous and amazing of all the public shows in the capital; river barges are piled high with explosives and set adrift on the Thames with several fearless firework-ers on board. The best vantage points tend to be around the Embankment and Gabriel's Wharf. If you are really on the ball, get there early and grab the best seats in the house in the public gallery of the Oxo Tower. The procession leaves Mansion House at 11am after an RAF flypast and travels via St Paul's to the Royal Courts of Justice before returning along Victoria Embankment at 1pm, reaching Mansion House at about 2.30pm. Then for the grand finale; the day finishes with one of London's most impressive fireworks displays at 5pm, set off from a barge moored in the Thames between Blackfriars and Waterloo bridges.
