London Pride Parade
Get your rainbows ready for London’s annual Pride Parade, this year celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Pride in the UK. Watch and cheer as over 30,000 people from over 600 LGBT+ groups march through London in a riot of flags, balloons and fabulous outfits. It’s a wonderful, upbeat celebration as well as a platform to highlight the injustices and inequalities that still exist. Hugely enjoyable and uplifting.
