Four-time gold medal winner Matthew Pinsent said:
"The Parade of the Heroes gives London and the whole of the UK the opportunity to show how supportive the entire nation is of the Olympic and Paralympic movement."
The parade will begin outside the Ritz on Piccadilly at 1.30pm, and will travel along Piccadilly and down Haymarket before arriving in Trafalgar Square.
The parade will be broadcast live on BBC1 between 1.35pm and 2.50pm.
