So yes, rather short notice but I like to keep you on your toes…or something like that. Anyway, this Saturday, November 10th, is the Lord Mayor’s Show - a huge event in London with an over 3 mile procession, fireworks at the end and something to do with the mayor. it’s definitely an event that would be fun to photograph, but be sure you can handle large masses of people since it’s bound to be rather busy. If you are keen to see what it’s all about and meet with some fellow photobloggers, read on:

Place: Just outside St. Paul’s Cathedral (X marks the spot above). The procession will pass here there and back, so you are sure to get a glimpse of it all.

Time: 10:00am. Earlier than usual, I know. The procession starts at 11am and will go past St. Paul’s at about 11:15am. It’s a good idea to get there a little earlier though and mark your spot, especially considering the crowds. There are at least some steps around here, so a higher vantage point may be ideal.

Check out the website, Lord Mayor’s Show, for more information.  Don’t forget the fireworks display (it is apparently one of the grandest) which will start at 5pm. You’ll want a good spot on either South Bank or Victoria Embankment so plan to head there a little earlier. After the procession you’ll probably have some time to grab a hot drink and then head over to grab your spot for the fireworks.

If you do decide to head down, comment here so folks know who to look out for. I won’t be joining up on this meet up as I have a food shoot to do, but I do hope folks will try to make it down and enjoy themselves.
