Pride in London 2027: parade route, times, stages and the night after

Pride in London is the first Saturday in July, which makes Saturday 3 July 2027 the expected date until the organisers confirm it. It is the largest one-day event in the city, a parade of well over a million people through the West End, and the thing to know is that it is really three events in one day with different rhythms.

The parade

It leaves Hyde Park Corner around midday, goes down Piccadilly, round Piccadilly Circus, along Pall Mall and finishes in Whitehall by mid-afternoon. It is free to watch from anywhere on the route. Piccadilly near Green Park is the widest pavement and the easiest spot; Piccadilly Circus is the best atmosphere and the worst crush. The parade takes three hours or more to pass, so you do not need to be there at the start.

The stages

Trafalgar Square is the main stage, free, and full by early afternoon with queues at the entrances. The smaller stages in Soho, Leicester Square and Golden Square are easier to get near. Soho itself is pedestrianised for the day and is one large street party from lunchtime until the small hours.

The night

Every club and bar in Soho and Vauxhall runs a Pride night, most of them ticketed and most of them sold out in June. The Night Tube runs on the Saturday. The area around Trafalgar Square and Charing Cross is closed until the evening, so plan to walk to Holborn or Oxford Circus.

The rest of the season

UK Black Pride and London Trans Pride happen on other weekends in the summer and are listed below when confirmed. They are smaller, quieter and for a lot of people better.
