If you’ve got a smartphone you can access a simpler version of this site on the day of the Show. If you’ve got an iPhone, forget that and go straight to the Lord Mayor’s Show app. If you prefer to find your own way, our maps of the route and fireworks are designed to be printed and carried around – they miss out all the unnecessary details in order to concentrate on main streets, tube stations, toilets and other vital bits of information.

Information for disabled people

We have some useful information for disabled visitors to the Show, and we are adding to it more information about accessible stations, toilets and other essentials. If you can’t use public transport or you’re worried about the crowds, you should find something helpful there.

By tube and train

Several tube stations will bring you out right on the processional route: St Pauls is on the outward leg, Mansion House on the return leg, and Bank is on both. Please note that Blackfriars Station, normally a good bet, is still closed and will not open in time for the Show.

Several other stations are within a very easy walk: Cannon Street, Monument and Moorgate are only a minute or two away, and Temple is close to the Royal Courts. They’re all on the map.

All these stations – especially Bank and St Pauls – are likely to be busy: leave a bit more time than usual for your journey, and please be patient leaving the station.

By bike

Bikes are a great way to get to the Show, but please lock them up some way away from the route and walk the last bit. The police will remove any bikes attached to railings on or near the route, and wheeling a bike through the crowds will not win you many friends.

By bus

The buses will get you as far as Liverpool Street, Old Street, Kingsway or the South Bank, any of which are within walking distance of the Show. Buses will not be travelling through the City, and many will be subject to diversions and delays as a result. The map of roads closed will give you a good idea of how close your bus is likely to get.
