The Parade: All Our Pride
Retracing the route of the inaugural Pride march in 1972, this year’s parade starts at Hyde Park, then goes through Piccadilly, Haymarket and Trafalgar Square, before finishing at Whitehall Place.
After two years of cancellations and virtual replacements, this long-awaited in-person parade is all about unity. The theme #AllOurPride encompasses the history, present and future of all the LGBTQ+ community, celebrating the trailblazers and highlighting the ongoing challenges. The march is asking the UK government to reform the Gender Recognition Act, to ban coversion therapy, to protect LGBTQ+ communities from hate crimes and to create a memorial for those who have died from Aids.
It’s easy and free to get involved. You can join the march at any point -there’s an interactive map here, charting the route, including food, drink and bathroom breaks along the way.
Or, if you’d like to avoid the crowds and guarantee a plum position and a comfy seat for the entertainment,you can book Grandstand tickets for £50. The Haymarket vantage point gives you the best vista of all the colours and characters on the parade.
