Anzac Day service in London

Anzac Day is a solemn and special occasion for Aussies and Kiwis; perhaps even more so for expats who like the Anzacs 103 years ago found themselves on foreign shores, so far away from home.

The Anzac Day Dawn Service in London at Hyde Park Corner is one of the most heavily attended commemorative events held outside of Australia and New Zealand, with thousands of expats coming together to remember the fallen. In 2018, the main ceremony will be taking place at the NZ Memorial (alternating each year with the Australian Memorial) and be attended by Prince Harry and his fiancée Meghan Markle.

After the Dawn Service is a formal Wreath Laying Ceremony and Parade at the Centotaph in Whitehall followed by a Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey. For both of these events, complimentary tickets are required.

If you are in London, get up early and get along to Hyde Park for the Anzac Dawn Service to pay your respects – it will be an emotional experience you won’t forget.

On Anzac Day, Wednesday 25 April 2018, commemorative ceremonies in London are as follows:
