Where: Between Mansion House and Aldwych.

Paraiso School of Samba brings 150 people in lavish costume for a Rio-style carnival experience.
Where: The Procession sets up on Victoria Embankment by Embankment Tube station. It then proceeds east and crosses the Thames at Blackfriars Bridge. It goes down Upper Ground and finishes at the National Theatre. The procession starts at 7.30 and reaches the National at 9.30. It takes approximately thirty minutes to pass a given point..

Paraiso's parade - with around 250 in costume - celebrates 2010 as the 200th anniversary of the start of the struggle for independence of Latin American countries. We celebrate heroes such as Simón Bolívar, José de San Martín, Bernardo O'Higgins and Joaquim José da Silva Xavier (Tiradentes). But we also recognise Boudicca, Wellington and Nelson who fought for British independence without forgetting Ghandi who fought by peaceful means for independence from Britain.
