Watch the Off the Page! City of London Festival Parade

The City of London Festival is in full swing, and this lunchtime the streets of the City close as 1,400 children take over, with dozens of schools participating to recreate celebrated children's books in an ‘Off the page!’ theme.


The parade kicks off at 12.45pm at the Guildhall, crossing Guildhall Yard, heading up Cheapside, across Paternoster Square and to end at St Paul's Cathedral West Steps, where the event will culminate with a special performance from the Royal Shakespeare Company's Matilda the Musical.
