On Saturday July 25, central London will turn pink and blue as London Trans+ Pride celebrates its eighth year. Each year, it's been getting bigger and more central to the city's Pride celebrations, offering a heartening display of queer solidarity at a time when trans rights are continually under threat.
So it's high time you showed up, whether you're part of the trans+ community or an ally. Full details haven't yet been confirmed, but in previous years, a parade has marched through central London, from Trafalgar Square to Hyde Park Corner’s Wellington Arch. Since 2019, the event has sought to honour the memory of trans lives taken, uphold the next generation of trans revolutionaries and support crucial trans rights.
What is London Trans+ Pride?
London Trans+ Pride began in 2019, as a grassroots alternative to the more commercial Pride marches that take place in the city over the summer. Its main focus is to provide a space for those who are transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming people and intersex to make themselves heard by protesting against transphobic and archaic legislation and advocate for changes to trans health care, as well as celebrate trans lives past, present and future.
When is London Trans+ Pride this year?
London Trans+ Pride will take place on Saturday July 25 2026. Details are tbc, but in previous years, participants have been asked to gather from 1pm and the march will take place at 2pm. It runs until approximately 5:30pm and will feature speeches and time to hangout and mingle with fellow attendees.
What’s the London Trans+ Pride 2026 route and where does it start?
The London Trans+ Pride route for 2026 has yet to be confirmed, but in previous years it has begun at Trafalgar Square, continuing up Cockspur Street onto Pall Mall, down Piccadilly Circus and on to Wellington Arch. Each year, the march has snowballed in size, so expect 2025's edition to be even bigger and bolder than before.
