January 1 2016 marks the 30th New Year’s Day parade in London.
It’s been entertaining Londoners since its inception in 1987.
The parade takes around three hours to weave its way along the 2.2 mile route, from outside The Ritz Hotel to Parliament Square.
Over 8,000 performers will take part and a mix of over 500,000 hungover, still-slightly drunk, clear-headed-and-slightly-smug Londoners, and way-too-excited-for-this-time-of-the-day tourists will watch on.
Think massive Disney-style floats, with loads of loud music, dancing, marching bands, cheerleaders, acrobats, street performers, clowns, colourful costumes and performers representing each of the 33 London Boroughs.
