July in London means long summer nights just made for festivals, rooftop bars, open-air cinema, music and exhibitions celebrating the culture, creativity and diversity of the city, so get out there and get involved!
Pride in London Parade
The massive annual London Pride Parade will make its colourful, joyous way once more throughout the city’s centre in celebration of LGBTQIA+ communities and the core values of visibility, unity, and equality. It’s free to turn up to show support and watch the parade in all its splendour, as flag bearers, floats and participants in dazzling outfits fill the streets.
