So, the bus starts at the stadium, but where does it go? The route is rarely a straight line. It usually snakes through the heart of Islington and Finsbury Park, soaking up the biggest crowds.
Think of it as a victory lap through a living room. Every street corner becomes a balcony, every bus stop a VIP section. The parade turns ordinary London streets into a river of red and white that flows for hours.
The drivers have a pretty chill job: just creep along at walking pace. Meanwhile, players are doing keg-stands (or, you know, politely sipping champagne) and throwing scarves into the crowd. Who wouldn’t want that job for a day?
The Famous “Peak” at the Town Hall
One of the coolest parts? When the parade passes by Islington Town Hall. This isn’t on every route, but when it is, the balcony there becomes a stage.
Picture Arsène Wenger or Mikel Arteta holding the trophy up against the backdrop of old stone walls. It’s a moment that bridges the old and new Arsenal—a local government building turned into a temple of football glory.
