New Year's Day Parade (January 1st)

Celebrate 2022 with the annual London New Year's Day Parade in central London, featuring thousands of performers from across the world.

Every year on New Year's Day, dancers, acrobats, cheerleaders, marching bands, historic vehicles and more usually assemble in the heart of the capital for a lively celebration. The parade is often packed with contemporary performances and traditional pomp and ceremony, with huge balloons, music and confetti filling the air. With more than 10,000 performers representing the London boroughs and countries from across the globe, this event normally attracts many spectators and live television broadcasts in the UK and overseas.

​This year’s event is ticketed and only ticket-holders can watch the live event in person. You must buy a ticket in advance to enjoy the parade from one of the grandstands in Waterloo Place. Tickets can be bought by requesting them from the concierge...
