Key events
Here’s David Squires’ take on the 2025-26 Premier League champions.
Before the parade begins, let’s relive some of last night, and this season.
The crowds really are deep in numbers along the route, with airhorns to the fore. Upper Street is brimming over. A few fans were in Budapest last night and caught flights at 2am to be there. Many who were there will be arriving at a time when the parade is on.
The route: Holloway Road, around Seven Sisters, through Blackstock Road to Newington Green, then Essex Road before turning right at Angel station on to Upper Street. But not, note, past the Emirates, which has been cordoned off.
Preamble
If you have been in the streets of London in the last week, or even on a train travelling to London, Arsenal shirts have been everywhere. Today is when they converge once more, for the trophy parade of the Premier League. Not the Champions League trophy, of course, that remains in Paris, but the mood is one of celebration. It’s been 22 years since Gunners fans could celebrate being top of the heap in England. How many will be there? The estimates range as high as a million. That might even be an underestimate.
The open-top buses set off at 2pm.
So, join me for coverage.
