The Pride in London parade will be held on Saturday 2nd July 2022, and this year is extra special as it has been 50 years since the first Pride took place in the UK. So 2022’s campaign will be focusing on commemorating the past 50 years of the movement and celebrating the Torch-bearers within the LGBTQ+ community who helped make Pride what it is today.

So here’s what to expect for this year’s PRIDE in London:
