Travel

London is one of the world's busiest travel hubs with 5 mayor international airports on its doorstep, as well as trains and ferries from across Europe. Our sponsor BA has just been named Airline of The Year by the Official Airline Guide - so we reckon they are likely to be your first choice of carrier!

Accomodation

London has 1000s of hotels, so a search on the major booking websites should give you a lot of choice. The larger hotels in London are all used to accomodating same sex couples or trans guests so you are likely to encounter problems (especially over the Pride London fortnight!). If you prefer to say in smaller properties then you might want to check the listings in magazines such as Gay Times, DIVA, Boyz or G3 which list guesthouses that specifically welcome LGBT guests

We have listed below a couple of hotels that we especially recommend - these are hotels that are offering special rates/ packages or discounts to Pride London guests (and usually they also make a donation to the charity in the form of goods or services)

The Royal Lancaster If you are looking for somewhere central to stay over Pride Parade Weekend, and want to be within 5 minutes walk of the spectacular float action which kicks off in Baker Street this year, then stay at The Royal Lancaster Hotel. Book a two night stay between Friday 29 June and Sunday 1 July and they lovely people at The Royal Lancaster can offer you a double or twin room for GBP160.00 per night for two people - and if you’d like to stay a further day, theyll knock 50% off your last night. This great offer also includes a full English Breakfast, VAT and 2 for 1 cocktails during our Pride Cocktail Hour (which runs from 2-6pm on Saturday 30 June) in the hotel’s cool, contemporary bar and restaurant, Island.
