The Lord Mayor’s Show 2024 – The Countdown Begins
23 October 2024
4C Group is delighted to be working with Guava Pay, PAC (Positive Action Through Creativity) and The City of London for The Lord Mayor’s Show 2024. In preparation for this historic event, Canopy London City hosted the Art Competition Winners Ceremony in August on behalf of PAC where local children who had participated in the Lord Mayor’s Art Competition were welcomed along with their parents.



The winner, Yinka Alexander Hounkponou with his artwork will be featured on the float and shown on Bangla TV.



As part of the ceremony, the winners were announced, and prizes were distributed to all the participants who were also invited to a pizza class with our talented chefs at our newly opened Penny Squares Restaurant.





The winner’s design will feature on the float on the 9th of November to support this year’s theme, communities and faiths. The first dedicated float for the Bangladeshi diaspora will feature 14 young dancers aged between 10 -25 showcasing traditional Bengali dance and accompanied by 4 drummers, 4-foot pedalled rickshaws and children from the local community. The dancers from Udichi Academy have choreographed a dance called “My London” (Amar London) which tells the story of the local diaspora welcoming the new Lord Mayor through traditional Bengali folk dance and their identity as a British Bangladeshi living in London. This celebrates the diversity in London through dance and how creative outlets can bring people together.

The 4C Group Managing Director, Neil Taylor commented, ‘Community is an integral aspect of 4C Group’s values, and it has been a privilege for us to collaborate with Guava Pay, PAC, and The City of London for this event. Witnessing the talent of the children and listening to their visions of London’s future was truly inspiring. We are excited to be part of the historic LMS event and eagerly anticipate the main day. Thank you to everyone involved and to the parents for your support.’’
