Not only fireworks: London New Year's Day Parade in 75 photos
Text & photography by Anna Kmiecik, private tour guide in London. You can also read this post in Polish.
Every year* since 1987, on the 1st of January, London's New Year's Day Parade takes place.
*there was a break in this tradition during the Covid-19 pandemic
Hundreds of thousands of people line the streets to watch the colourful (and loud!) spectacle.
The event usually begins midday on the 1st of January, takes around 3 hours, and is free (although you can buy tickets for the special stands to secure the best view of the show).
It is a perfect way to start new year!
Below you will find a gallery of 75 photos from London's New Year's Day Parade.
