Pride in London is fast approaching with a throng of fabulous artists taking to stages to belt their pink tunes. It will happen on Saturday, July 4, starting at noon at Hyde Park Corner, heading down Piccadilly and along Haymarket before ending at Westminster’s Whitehall.
It is thought 1.8million partygoers will be taking to the streets for the event’s 54th birthday. There are hopes that 2026’s Pride will be the ‘most inclusive Pride in London event yet,’ according to Pride in London’s interim CEO Rebecca Paisis.
Co-founder of Stonewall and LGBTQIA+ activist Lisa Power MBE said: “Right now, we have a government and institutions meant to defend our rights that are attacking trans people’s rights, and the rest of ours will follow. So now’s the time to join hands and bring an ally, or someone you’re an ally to, along to Pride. Together, we can be stronger.”
Different artists will be belting bangers from different parts of the LGBTQUIA+ community, and will do so according to their stage. For example, non-white singers will perform at the Global Majority stage, Golden Square, while trans and non-binary folks will be at The Soho Square stage.
