The squad, which is on track to record one of GB's biggest ever medal hauls at an Olympic Games will parade through the capital on October 16.
London's mayor, Boris Johnson, said: "Just over halfway 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 their superb victories, we've set a date when we can cheer all our heroes and honour their extraordinary feats."
The 2008 Olympic Games has been the most successful for Britain since 1920.
