Hey there! 🎉 Every year, London lights up with the Lord Mayor's Show—an epic street parade that’s been around for over 800 years.
This year, history is made: it’s officially called The Lady Mayor's Show! Why? Dame Susan Langley is the 697th Lord or Lady Mayor of London and only the third woman ever to hold this mostly ceremonial role.
To celebrate her win, the parade went all-female with seven themed floats honoring women's impact on the City of London—from finance and tech to arts and social causes. Think of it as London's very own women's carnival! 👑💪
One standout float comes from the Zhejiang UK Association from the Chinese mainland, marking their 7th year in the show. Picture a classic red London bus decked out with Zhejiang dragon art—a cool East-meets-West mashup that highlights growing UK–Chinese mainland connections.
Beyond the spectacle, the Lady Mayor's Show is a nod to diversity and collaboration. It’s a reminder that whether you're coding in Bengaluru or creating content in Manila, women's leadership matters everywhere. 🌏✨
Catch the highlights, live clips, and behind-the-scenes moments on social with #LadyMayorShow and get inspired to break barriers in your own city! 🤳💕
