St Patrick’s Day in London 2015 – Going Green in the Capital

A celebration of Irish culture, St Patrick’s Day in London provides visitors a chance to get a unique look at Ireland’s rich heritage. The highlight of the festival is the St Patrick’s Day Parade which features a variety of floats and marching bands from all parts of the United Kingdom. This year this colourful and lively parade took place on March 15th and saw the route go past sites such as Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and Piccadilly Circus. If you are planning to catch next year’s event, look to stay at a centrally located London luxury hotel such as Metropolitan by COMO London which is within easy reach of landmarks on the parade route. As part of the St Patrick’s Day festivities, many establishments in the capital were decorated in customary green decor while pubs and bars served traditional Irish cuisine. An Irish food market, music & dance performances and a film festival were among the other highlights of St Patrick’s Day.
