3rd july - parade day

This year we want you all to Paint the Town Ruby Red as we celebrate 40 years of the Gay Liberation Front. The GLF was a revolutionary group of radical queens, hippies, students and activists who brought LGBT rights out in to the open. Famous for their street theatre, radical drag, kiss-ins and organising the first Pride March the GLF lived in communes all over London.

So let the sun shine in and let’s bring back 1970 in all it’s disco glory. Put a flower in your hair, dust off those platforms and wear a frock with a fabulous hat. The 8 original GLF demands are still relevant today. So bring a message and walk with Pride.

As usual will set off from Baker Street at 1pm and proceed down Oxford Street and Regent Street taking in some of the major sites of London as we swing round through Piccadilly to Trafalgar Square.
 
In Trafalgar Square you'll find an eclectic mix of speakers, stalls and a great line up of main stage performers from 3 p.m. Alternatively, head into Soho where you'll find the streets closed to traffic and a street party in full swing.
 
With stages and bars dotted around you'll find plenty of entertainment or a place to chill with mates or space to make new friends. There truly is a place for everyone at this fabulous free event.

It's not just July 3rd though, we have a full Pride London Festival Fortnight from 19th June through to 3rd July.

Why not follow the parade down to Trafaglar Square and join in the party as we Celebrate 40 Years of the Gay Liberation Front and Paint the Town Ruby Red. Visit www.pridelondon.org/3rdjuly/paraderoute to find your spot for the Parade!
