In this article, we briefly review the recent progress on collective flow and hydrodynamics in large and small systems at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which includes the following topics: extracting the QGP viscosity from the flow data, initial state fluctuations and final state correlations in 2.76 A TeV Pb--Pb collisions, correlations and collective flow in high energy p--Pb and p--p collisions.<br/>43 pages, 15 figures, Invited Review for Nuclear Science and Techniques<br/>
