Be part of an amazing Pride parade
Circle Saturday, July 5, 2025, in red as that's when the Pride parade kicks off from Hyde Park Corner. This colorful parade will snake its way past famous London landmarks like Piccadilly Circus, Haymarket, and Cockspur Street, before finally reaching its crescendo at Trafalgar Square, wrapping up at Whitehall Place. It's a vibrant celebration of LGBTQ+ diversity and spirit that'll run from midday until 6 PM. Don't miss it!
Meet this year's "Volunqueer" campaign
The theme "Volunqueer" has taken center stage this year, spotlighting the immense power and impact volunteers have within the LGBTQ+ community. It's a heartfelt call to action, inviting everyone to contribute their time, skills, or resources to champion LGBTQ+ causes, recognizing those unsung heroes who tirelessly work for a better tomorrow.
Tim Noblett, Pride in London's marketing director, emphasized the value of volunteerism, saying, "Volunqueering doesn't need to be a grand undertaking or a massive gesture—even the smallest step can help enact meaningful change." This initiative captures the essence of resilience and unity, attributes that define us, especially when times get tough.
Performances that will blow you away
Pride in London 2025 promises joy and celebration with performances that span five themed stages. Over at Victoria Embankment Gardens, families can enjoy a kid-friendly area, while Trafalgar Stage will be graced by Chaka Khan herself, delivering timeless hits like "I'm Every Woman," "A Ain't Nobody," and "I Feel for You." This performance not only rocks the stage but also marks 53 years of Pride events, a testament to an enduring spirit.
Other phenomenal artists, like Queenz, Grammy nominee Durand Bernarr, Eurovision 2025 winner JJ, and drag superstar La Voix, will light up the Trafalgar Square stage as well. Expect Eurovision stars like Miriana Conte, Jay Jay Revlon, and the "HERE AND NOW - The Steps Musical" cast to bring past and future pride together for an unforgettable experience.
Hear from inspiring speakers and hosts
Pride isn't just about music; it's a platform for powerful voices, too. Get ready to be inspired by speakers representing groups like Queerwell, Stonewall, and Not a Phase. They're here to motivate us to keep advocating for equality and inclusion. Holding down emcee duties on Trafalgar Stage will be Will Njobvu and Asifa Lahore, with a little help from guest hosts like Frankie Grande and John Cameron Mitchell.
Stages with something for everyone
The Leicester Square Stage will put a spotlight on LGBTQ+ women and non-binary individuals, featuring artists such as girli, Chloe Star, and Redrum. DJs like Kaylee Golding and CATTY will ensure the energy stays sky-high.
Meanwhile, Dean Street morphs into a Cabaret stage with acts like Ghetto Fabulous, Lucky Roy Singh, and Trevor Ashley. Over at Soho Square, you'll find a celebration of trans creativity and resilience through performances and discussions.
Golden Square's World Stage brings you UK R&B sensation Amaria BB, rapper Carter the Bandits, and a host of other talented artists and speakers, all adding to Pride in London's festive and inclusive atmosphere.
