Kick off 2023 in style at the spectacular New Year's Day Parade through the streets of London's West End.

Half-a-million spectators are expected to attend the festivities along Piccadilly to Piccadilly Circus, then down Lower Regent Street and Pall Mall to Trafalgar Square and Whitehall.

As the parade winds its way through the streets throwing confetti and huge balloons in the air you'll see everything from acrobats, cheerleaders and marching bands to the sequin-clad Pearly Kings and Queens.

You'll see historic vehicles, motorcyclists performing electrifying stunts, and the traditional lion and dragon dancers from London's Chinatown community.

You can either stand on the street and watch the floats for free, or if you don't fancy standing around for hours then you can buy yourself a ticket for the grandstands.
