Welcome to join the Finland Float at the Lord Mayor's Show 2025. Celebrate the enduring partnership between Finland and the UK.
The Lord Mayor's Show, the oldest, longest, best loved and least-rehearsed civic procession in the world, features in the plays of Shakespeare, the diaries of Pepys and the adventures of James Bond.
In the 20th century the Lord Mayor’s Show was the first outside event ever to be broadcast live and it still attracts a TV audience of millions. The 2025 Show will set off from Mansion House on 8 November at 11am.
The City of London, often referred to simply as "the City" or “Square Mile”, is not just a geographical location but a global financial powerhouse and a unique institution that plays a crucial role in the global economy.
For businesses, the City represents unparalleled access to capital, financial innovation, and a network of highly skilled professionals.
In 2024, Finland made a historic debut at the Lord Mayor's Show in London, marking the first appearance of a Finnish Float in this iconic procession.
Organised by the British & Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce in Finland (B3CF) and supported by our members, the Finland Float brought a touch of Nordic magic to one of the UK's most celebrated traditions.
