Thousands of partygoers are set to hit the capital’s streets this Saturday (June 29) for the 2024 Pride bonanza. The celebration seeks to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues.

Pride - which typically sees around 30,000 people take to the streets - will begin at midday and run until 6pm, beginning on Park Lane. It will travel down Haymarket, turning left towards Trafalgar Square and dispersing on Whitehall Place.

Revellers can expect lots of LGBTQ+ across the multiple stages across. This includes a main stage in Trafalgar Square, The Dean Street Cabaret Stage, The Golden Square World Stage and The LGBTQIA Women and Non-Binary Stage in Leicester Square.
