This is the 25th anniversary of London's New Year Parade. It's bigger and brighter than ever.
To make a parade really stand out you need lots of people and great marching bands. And there were plenty of both on New Year's Day.
"10,000 people took part, performers represented every London borough and 20 countries. Many of the marching bands flew over from the United States of America."
Every London borough was represented in the parade.
And Helen, do you know how many boroughs there are in London?
Oh, I'm terrible with general knowledge. I'm going to have to have a guess, maybe 30?
Well, that's nearly the correct answer. It's 33, although one of them, the City of London, isn't really counted as a borough.
It really has become an international event, many of the marching bands and cheerleading teams are from the United States of America.
These young Americans were full of enthusiasm and wowed the crowds with their music and energetic dance moves.
