Seeing the Red Arrows around London

Royal and ceremonial flypasts over central London bring the Red Arrows sweeping over The Mall and the Palace — flypasts rather than full displays, a single high-speed pass with smoke.

Common viewing spots

The Mall, St James’s Park, Green Park and the Victoria Memorial give the classic views, though crowds are enormous. Be in place well ahead of time.

📍 Flypasts route in from the north-east; the team forms up with other aircraft en route.
