London New Years Day Parade 2024

Watch the LNYDP live streaming coverage from London on new year day. Live online stream and TV schedule.

The London New Years Day parade, commonly abbreviated to just LNYDP, takes place on 1st January 2024. Watched by a large global audience via live online stream as well as the many thousands watching in person along the parade route, which has yet to be announced, but looks likely to still be different from past years.

The parade has been taking place on the 1st January through the city streets of London in various guises since 1987, and has expanded over the years to it's current status where it is claimed to be the largest new year parade anywhere in the world, a bold claim sure to be hotly contested by Philadelphia with their Mummers Parade and the Tournament of Roses Rose Parade in Pasadena, California.

For those in London at this time of year it is likely many will be nursing heavy heads from the London new years eve parties the night before, so an early start for the new years day parade represents an excuse to get out of bed to get the new year started in style. Annual attendance at the parade is in fact estimated at 1 million spectators along the 2 miles of the parade route, a genuinely impressive number.

Parade Route

The parade is made up of around 10,000 performers along a 2 mile parade route that starts at the Ritz Hotel, progresses to Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Pall Mall, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and ends at Parliament Square.
