The Pride in London Parade, made up of 100s of LGBTQ+ community groups, charitable and non profit organisations and supportive businesses will take place from 12:00 to 18:00 on Saturday 29th June 2024.
Pride in London has returned with its heritage route for 2024 assembling on Park Lane and travelling down Piccadilly, crossing Piccadilly Circus, travelling down Haymarket, turning left towards Trafalgar Square and dispersing on Whitehall Place.
Event Areas
The event areas for 2024 are:
Trafalgar Square -> Main Stage
Golden Square -> The World Stage
Leicester Square -> LGBTQIA+ Women
Dean Street -> The Cabaret Stage
Victoria Embankment -> The Family Area
Soho Square -> Trans and Non-Binary Stage, with Pride in London Community Market
All areas run from 12:00 to 20:00 with the exception of the Family Area which will run from 12:00 to 18:00.
Road Closures
Roads will be closed across the whole footprint which will affect vehicular access for businesses and residents. Please note that all feeder roads into the closed roads will also be affected. As a result, normal deliveries and waste collections may be affected on Saturday 29th June 2024.
You can access a more detailed, interactive map of road closures here.
Along Piccadilly there will be facilitated vehicle access to travel from South (around St James’s Street) and heading North in the morning of the event. Please note that this is one directional (see Road Closures Map below). There are also pedestrian crossing points across Piccadilly which go in both directions. Please access our interactive map to locate these crossing points and the direction you can cross: prideinlondon.org/parade/map
