The LORD MAYOR’S SHOW LUNCH
IRONMONGERS’ HALL
The 2016 Lord Mayor’s Show is on Saturday 12th November. There are events all day and many other family activities and special exhibitions will be laid on in the area. From the Lord Mayor’s arrival by river to the fireworks finale, the Lord Mayor’s Day is packed with spectacle. 09:00 River Pageant The original Lord Mayor’s journey was always taken by river. The modern Lord Mayor celebrates that history by travelling to the City in a splendid flotilla of traditional Thames barges and small boats, including the famous QRB Gloriana. Tower Bridge opens in salute at 09.25 and the new Lord Mayor alights at HMS President ten minutes later. 11.00 Lord Mayor’s Procession This is a procession unlike any other in the world, last year there were over 7000 participants. The procession sets off from Mansion House at 11am, it pauses at the Royal Courts while the Lord Mayor gives his oath and then returns up the Victoria Embankment at about 13.00. The Lord Mayor will get back to Mansion House just after 14.00 15:00 Guided Walks In the lull between procession and fireworks you will find the remarkable City of London Guide Lecturers giving walking tours around the strange old streets of the City of London. The walks are easy and free, but we hope you will make a donation to the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. 17:15 Lord Mayor’s Fireworks The new Lord Mayor completes his first day in office with a magnificent fireworks display over the Thames. The launchpad floats in the river between Blackfriars and Waterloo and all the roads in that area are still closed, so you can walk freely around either bank of the river and find a good spot to enjoy the end of the Show.
