What is the Lord Mayor’s Show?

The Lord Mayor’s Show is more than 800 years old. It has been a fixture of London life for centuries until it became the largest civil procession in the world and its most enduring television program in the world.

The modern Show is a joyful civic parade of over 6000 people, with dozens of bands, carriages, military detachments, inflatables, dance companies, giant contraptions and ceremonial exhibits. Each year is different and surprising, combining the London’s ancient pomp, the turbulent heritage and modern dynamism to create a show unlike anything else in the world.


When and where the Lord Mayor’s Show is taking place?

The Lord Mayor’s Show takes place on Saturday 12th of November and it starts at 11:00 in the City of London.

The fantastic procession will start from Mansion House (Bank Junction) until the Royal Courts (on the Strand) and back again.

Lord Mayor Elected

Alderman Nicholas Lyons of the Tower Ward has been elected as the 694th Lord Mayor of the City of London and the 2022 Lord Mayor’s Show is on!



History and Origins of the Show

The Mayor of London was appointed by King John over 800 years ago, in a desperate attempt to bring the city to his side during the conflict with his rebellious Barons. This didn’t really work out the way he planned.
