- Visitor Information
More than 10,000 performers representing 20 countries world-wide will gather in Central London on 1 January 2011 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the New Year's Day Parade. Around half a million revellers are expected to pack London's famous streets to see this fantastic spectacle as it weaves its way along the two-mile route, which this year starts outside the About Parliament Square
Located outside the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square occupies a politically significant position and has often been the focus of protest and controversy - Brian Haw's famous Iraq war vigil is a case in point. Statues of political heavyweights overlook the grassy square with George Canning, Benjamin Disraeli and Robert Peel standing proud along with Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln.
