"I am delighted that once again thousands of performers from all over the world took part in London’s spectacular New Years’ Day Parade. Battling wet and windy conditions, those taking part put on a fantastic showcase, reflective of the creativity, diversity and vibrancy that define our capital. “Whether you watched the parade from along the route or at home, I hope you enjoyed the great range of floats and display of talent that flocked through our city. The parade kicked 2025 off to a great start, showing why London is the greatest city in the world.”
