A heroes parade through London on October 16, is being planned by London Mayor Boris Johnson, the British Olympic Association (BOA) and the British Paralympic Association have confirmed.
Team GB have now won 13 golds - and more may come.
Mr Johnson said: "Just over half way through the Beijing Games and Team GB has put in one of its best ever performances.
"In September our Paralympians will I hope return from Beijing having achieved similar success. So to reflect the excitement and pride of the country in our athletes' superb victories we've set a date in the diary now when we can cheer all our heroes and honour their extraordinary feats at this summer's Games.
I'm all for a celebration of success but do we need a parade after every sporting achievement? Oh and why does is always have to be in London?
