London Poppy Day is the flagship fundraising event for the Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal and will take place on 30th October 2025. Applications are now open!
Our incredible volunteers are the heart of London Poppy Day— we truly couldn’t do it without you!
London Poppy Day raises crucial funds for The Royal British Legion to support serving personnel veterans, and their families. This one-day street collection mobilises over 1,000 uniformed personnel from the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force,
along with nearly an additional 2,000 veterans, volunteers, and supporters. The presence and efforts of these individuals are crucial in ensuring the success of the event, allowing for significant fundraising that directly benefits those who have
served and their loved ones.
London Poppy Day volunteers will be provided with a food voucher if volunteering for the whole day as well as travel passes that grant free travel the day before, the day of and the day after London Poppy Day across the National Rail network, and on the
day across the TfL network.
Collections take place from 7am to 7pm at 70 mainline and underground stations and head office locations in London. Volunteers need to be available for at least two hours during the day, though there is an option to volunteer for the entire day if preferred. We would greatly appreciate your support in making this event a success.
