After the fantastic Olympics and Paralympic Games and the biggest medal overhaul for the last 100 years, all the British athletes will be taking part in a hero’s parade through London on Monday 10th September 2012.
The athletes, who brought home 150 medals between them, will travel on a series of floats from Mansion House to Trafalgar Square along Queen Victoria Street and Cannon Street, passing by St Paul's Cathedral, continuing along Fleet Street, past Aldwych and into The Strand.
The event will start at 13:30 and finish at around 16:00. Most roads required by the event will be closed from 11:00 with those around Guildhall closing from 06:00 to allow the coach convoy to assemble. Roads will reopen after the event as soon as it is safe to do so.
The event is expected to exceed any previous victory parades in respect of its size and crowd numbers, with over 200,000 spectators expected to attend. 850 Olympic and Paralympic athletes will be involved in the procession.
There will be some temporary road closures to facilitate the parade which in turn may cause disruptions to our delivery service. We assure our customers we will do our upmost to make sure our deliveries run as smoothly as possible during the parade.
