You may have heard that St Patrick’s day is just around the corner, as on the closest Sunday to March 17 (this year its the 20/03/16), London hosts its now famous St. Patrick Day Parade. Over the years the event has grown and now features spectacular pageantry, wonderful floats, marching bands from across the UK, sports clubs and Irish dancing schools.

The London St Patrick’s Day Parade makes its way down Piccadilly, on a 1.5 mile route, passing some of London’s most iconic landmarks and usually ends up at Trafalgar Square scene of The St. Patrick’s Day Festival. Complete with music, comedy and food stands, this is one of the biggest Irish festivals in the UK.

If you are in London this weekend it is something not to miss!
