Lord Mayor’s Hot Air Balloon Regatta

Weather permitting, there could be up to 50 hot air balloons drifting over Central London just after sunrise.

This is the Lord Mayor’s Hot Air Balloon Regatta, a now annual event that raises money for the Lord Mayor’s charity, and gives early risers on a Sunday morning a lovely sight of all the balloons silently drifting over sleepy London.

The lift-off is weather dependent and although the take-off point is to be confirmed, it’s been from Battersea Park for the past few years.

The balloons typically confirm if they will be able to lift-off on the Friday afternoon before the Sunday, check the website below for the latest updates.
