Join London's Pride celebration

Guided as always by the core values of visibility, unity, and equality, Pride in London creates a kaleidoscopic environment centred around community. The parade draws London's diverse LGBTQIA+ communities together to joyfully claim the spotlight, while allies and supporters line the streets to cheer in admiration and solidarity.

For many, Pride holds deep personal meaning, affirming one's identity and the shared hopes and challenges across the spectrum of experience. For others, it signifies admirable progress achieved and the distance still left to travel for full inclusion. However Pride moves you, London's iconic celebration stands as an open invitation to participate and lend your voice.

Eat, Pace, Plan

First things first, if you’re planning on drinking alcohol, eat beforehand! You know what they say about drinking on an empty stomach. Going alcohol-free? Good on you; there are plenty of options for you to enjoy just as much as the real thing. If you are drinking on the other hand, know your limits and pace yourself. The NHS One You – Drink Less app is perfect for keeping track of how much you’re drinking and spending.

Keep your water bottle with you, and watch your drink, bag, and phone. Heading home? Don’t walk alone if you've been drinking. Help others get back safely, and remember — you may still be over the limit in the morning, so don’t drive.
