Pride London – LGBT+ March & Entertainment Stages

This event has already passed

With over a half-a-million people watching, 35,000 people marching, and 500 groups performing, this year's Pride parade is set to be the UK's biggest-ever celebration of the LGBT+ community.

The aim of the parade is to highlight the continuing challenges, inequalities and discrimination that they face every day.

Parade from Hyde Park Corner to Whitehall Place

The colourful parade will start at Hyde Park Corner and head down the side of Green Park to Piccadilly Circus. It will then pass through Haymarket to Pall Mall, turn left into Trafalgar Square, and come to an end at Whitehall Place.

Watch the parade from a grandstand

Spectators can watch from the side of the street for free or buy themselves a ticket in one of the seated grandstands.

The main grandstand is in Piccadilly, but this year they've put up an extra one in Cockspur Street which gives a good view of the parade as it nears Trafalgar Square. See their website for details about how to buy a ticket: Piccadilly / Cockspur Street.

Entertainment stages with music & speeches

Trafalgar Square - The main stage in Trafalgar Square attracts around 5,000 people with its line-up of live music and speeches. They usually have a few chart-topping pop stars, famous DJs and comedy drag performances.
