Lord Mayor’s Show and Fireworks

The world-famous Lord Mayor’s Procession sets off from Mansion House 11am. It pauses at the Royal Courts while the Lord Mayor swears allegiance and then returns by the Victoria Embankment at 1pm. The tail of the procession reaches Mansion House just after 2pm.

The new Lord Mayor completes his first day in office with a magnificent fireworks display over the Thames. The launchpad is between Blackfriars and Waterloo and all the roads in that area are still closed, so you can watch from either bank of the river.
