Lord Mayor's Show

One of the liveliest and most colourful events in London is just a few weeks away. The Lord Mayor's Show takes place on Saturday 12th November, with a three-mile long procession of floats that starts from Mansion House at 11am and ends up on the Strand - and then, makes a return journey from Temple, via Queen Victoria Street, back to Mansion House.

Tens of thousands of people line the streets for the free event, which is also broadcast live on BBC television - and there are also fireworks at 5pm, which you can watch from the South Bank and Victoria Embankment. Of course, one of the highlights is the sight of the 250-year-old golden Lord Mayor's State Coach... with a very happy Lord Mayor David Wootton inside!
