Coronation: Big screens across London to watch the event for free | news news

On Coronation Day, royal fans line The Mall to watch the King and Queen’s coronation process.
However, if you can’t make it to the procession route, there are also plenty of big screens across London where you can watch the event for free.
Let’s take a look at where you can watch the coronation for free on screens across the capital.
Hyde park
Four large screens will broadcast the event in Hyde Park.
Where can you find the big screens in Hyde Park?
These are located at:
- Screen 1: Old Soccer Fields (South of the Serpentine, near South Carriage Drive) – West facing
- Screen 2: Old Soccer Fields (South of the Serpentine, near South Carriage Drive) – East facing
- Screen 3: The Cockpit (North side of the Serpentine, near the Norwegian War Memorial)
- Screen 4: Boathouse Lawn (north side of the switchback, next to the boathouse)
There is no need to book and you can just come to the free event and bring a chair or picnic blanket to sit on.
You can enter the park from 5am on Saturday morning, but the broadcast doesn’t start until later in the morning before the first procession.
There are signs in the park and stewards to direct you to the viewing area.
There will be kiosks near each screen where you can buy food and drink, but feel free to bring your own – although glass is prohibited.
