Pride in London is almost upon us. On Saturday July 4, more than 1.5 million people will descend upon central London to celebrate all things queer and advocate for visibility, unity and equality.
The main event of Saturday’s extravaganza is, as always, the huge Pride parade that snakes from Green Park to Whitehall. Thousands of folk from LGBTQIA community groups, charities and organisations will march and fill the streets with flags, banners and glitter for the occasion. Over in Soho, there’ll be a stacked lineup of drag queens, DJs, activists, musicians and dancers keeping the vibes high. And it’s all completely and utterly free to attend.
So, if you’re planning on going down to central for all the gay festivities, here’s the lowdown on the timings and all the performers at London Pride 2026.
What time does the London Pride 2026 parade start?
The march will set off from Green Park (near Hyde Park Corner) at 12 noon. It’ll then wind around Piccadilly Circus, Haymarket and Trafalgar Square to finish on Whitehall. The walk should take most people roughly 120-180 minutes and the whole thing is expected to be over by around 6pm.
