Chiswick

It's Pride month, when the rest of London gets its Soho on. We've found a whole heap of affordable ways to celebrate Pride in London, so you're sure to find something that tickles your fancy. Parade with Pride The high point of this month's Pride celebrations is, of course, the Pride Parade. It 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, dancers and dazzling outfits fill the streets. Hands down, one of the best days out in London all year. Free outdoor screening of Kinky Boots Unwind after the Pride parade with a free outdoor screening of Kinky Boots, the cult 2005 film about struggling shoe factory owner Charlie (Joel Edgerton) and his unlikely partnership with drag queen Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Curated by Queer Britain as part of the Everyman on the Canal summer cinema season at King’s Cross; admission is free. Celebrate Pride at the Outernet Coming to the Outernet screens at Tottenham Court Road this June, LGBT Foundation, the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing charity, is launching its largest national campaign to date. Hope Starts Here runs from June 4th in Now Trending at Outernet. Rather than focusing on marches or festivals, Hope Starts Here highlights how LGBTQ+ pride is lived year-round – often through relationships, friendships, family life – bringing these day-to-day experiences and ordinary encounters into the spotlight. Pride brunch Caravan Covent Garden will be celebrating London Pride with a free-flowing Pride Brunch on Saturday 4th July and Sunday 5th July. Guests can enjoy 90 minutes of free-flowing drinks, their favourite brunch dish, DJ sets and a few surprises along the way, all for per person. Expect great food, good people and big Pride energy, with from every Pride Brunch sold donated directly to The Proud Trust to support its work empowering LGBTQ+ young people across the UK. Wembley Park Pride Week This year Wembley Park is celebrating Pride with a whole week of performances, music, comedy, drag, DJ sets and community moments staged across a number of Wembley Park’s venues and public spaces. Learn to meditate The London LGBTQ+ Centre is dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community with loads of events all year around, including an unofficial Pride warm up. In June, they offer a large range of events such as Queer Book Club, LGBTQ+ line dancing, Queer Walkday, LGBTQ+ meditation and much more. Visit Queer Britain Celebrate Pride with a wander around the We Are Queer Britain exhibition after work; they are open until 8pm on the third Thursday every month, with a volunteer-led guided tour at 7pm. They have a new pop-up exhibition, presented with the LGBT+ veterans charity Fighting For Pride, which explores the stories of those whose lives were devastated by the ban on gay people serving in the Armed Forces. Being gay in the British military had been illegal and gay service members were stripped of their medals and dismissed on the grounds of their sexuality. Walk through a rainbow If you're planning a visit to Queer Britain, why not walk through a rainbow to get there? The spectacular 90-metre-long light tunnel that connects the underground station with the King’s Cross estate is lit up in rainbow colours for Pride month. Become part of queer history In partnership with Queer Britain, FUJIFILM House of Photography is inviting visitors to Pride in London to take part in a playful, pride-inspired “Queer Love” photo booth installation in Trafalgar Square. Selected photographs from the project will be exhibited at the FUJIFILM House of Photography on Long Acre in Covent Garden as part of a new exhibition, Print It. They Can’t Delete It; the images will become part of Queer Britain’s permanent archive, ensuring these stories and moments are preserved for future generations. Sushi afterparty Maki & Ramen is inviting Pride-goers to skip the Soho queues and head underground for a high-energy afterparty at its Old Compton Street Japanese restaurant on Saturday 4th July, running from 11pm until 2am. This exclusive late-night celebration combines unlimited sushi, gyoza and ramen with a fully operational bar serving authentic Japanese beers, fruit-forward and tea-based cocktails and mocktails, and everything in between. Soundtracking the night will be a DJ spinning an uplifting mix of pop, techno and underground house until the early hours. Tickets are priced at for general admission, with a limited early bird offer available for the first 30 tickets sold and reduced-rate tickets available on the door. Attend a LGBTQ+ talk at Common Press This queer bookshop cafe, bar and community hub with sites in Shoreditch and Dalston hosts not just talks but book clubs, dance and yoga classes, and club nights. Check out a free exhibition With Pride the musical opening at London’s National Theatre, Queer Britain Museum has taken over the exhibition space in the Lyttleton Lounge. Documenting over 150 years of British LGBTQ+ history, this wide-ranging free exhibition shows early Prides, drag kings, trans pioneers, activists, political scandals and cultural icons: the people who reflected and shaped their times.
