Sing hallelujah the big day is finally here. This Saturday (6 Jul) is Pride in London Parade Day. All across London LGBT+ people of every kind and venues will be marking this day of visibility. A visibility that seems more important than ever right now across the world. In this issue you will find information about loads of events on the big day, and don’t forget UK Black Pride on Sunday (7 Jul). Whatever you do make it a safe and happy Pride.
The Parade
Starts at midday
The Parade is the very centre of visibility for Pride in London. It starts at Portland Place and winds its all-singing, all-dancing, flag-waving, protesting and celebrating way through the heart of the West End. It goes down on to Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly Circus and ends up on Whitehall. If you want to see the whole glorious thing get a space early and remember to bring some water.
Trafalgar Square
Starts at 11.45am
There’s nowhere quite like Trafalgar Square on Pride Day, it’s fantastic mix of protest and the popular. Hosted by Michael Twaits, this year we get US superstar Bill Porter, LGBT legend Tom Robinson, a ton of Pride’s Got Talent acts and much more.
