London Trans+ Pride is back for 2026, taking place on Saturday 25 July.
Starting out as a grassroots event in 2019, it’s become one of the largest Trans Pride marches in the world. Organisers describe it as “a peaceful march through central London, open to trans+ people, the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, joining in a union of celebration for trans+ lives, past and present, standing for trans+ rights.”
Following the 2025 Supreme Court ruling about the legal definition of a woman, and an EHRC draft Code of Practice that effectively bans trans people from using toilets that match their gender, the organisers say this year’s event is “the most politically urgent year in the march’s history”.
Signs, banners and flags are encouraged, with 100,000 people expected to turn up in 2026 — which would make it the largest Trans+ Pride yet.
The theme for 2026 is ‘Our Future, Our Fight’. Says Travis Alabanza, supporter of Trans+ Pride:
Every year, the importance of this march grows and grows. With this year seeing in the UK both our two major political parties consistently using trans people as scapegoats for misinformation and harmful rhetoric, it is more vital than ever we show up and remind this country that we are a community who deserve respect, love and safety — and that there are many who agree with this.
Adds comedian and actor Eddie Suzy Izzard:
Women’s Rights are Human Rights and Trans Rights are Human Rights. End of story. We have to make this work.
Other high-profile supporters of the event include Jessie Ware, Will Young, Jeremy Corbyn and Munroe Bergdorf.
Human rights organisation Liberty has some tips for staying safe while taking part in the march.
London Trans+ Pride 2026 takes place on Saturday 25 July, beginning at Langham Place at 1pm. The route is TBC at time of writing — keep an eye on the website for details.
