It’s raining men, hallelujah. Because after the recent heatwave, we’ll take any kind of precipitation we can get. But even more of a reason to rejoice? Pride in London 2025 is about to take over the capital with a giant, rainbow-hued celebration of LGBTQIA+ joy, visibility and protest.
The annual extravaganza will see thousands of people flood the streets of central London for one of the biggest free Pride events in the world. From a star-studded line-up of drag acts and DJs to political speeches, queer cabaret and (of course) a big gay parade, here’s everything you need to know.

What time does this year’s London Pride parade start?
The main Pride in London parade kicks off at 12pm on Saturday, July 5, 2025, starting in Green Park (near Hyde Park Corner) then snaking it’s way all the way to Whitehall Place – where it finishes around 7pm. Yes, that’s seven whole hours of dodging your exes along the parade route. But, with Pride stages neatly situated throughout as well, there’s still plenty to keep you entertained.
And the best thing is: it’s all free to attend. There’s no ticket needed, either, just turn up early if you want a good view.

Parade Route Map
After kicking off by Hyde Park Corner tube station, the parade then heads towards Piccadilly Circus station, before going south down Haymarket, past Trafalgar Square and down Whitehall, before finishing outside Big Ben. There are viewing spots positioned along the whole route -with most of central London being pedestrianised and transformed into a massive, glitter-soaked street party.
The Pride stages are situated around the nearby area, with stages in Golden Square, Dean Street, Soho Square, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and Victoria Embankment Gardens.
Nearest tube stations include Green Park, Piccadilly Circus, Charing Cross and Embankment – but be warned: they’ll be rammed. Bring water, sun cream, snacks and your most weather-resistant pride attire.
