Pride in London – live: Parade route, times and map as one million expected

Adam Lambert set to headline Pride In London 2023

Huge crowds turned out for Pride in London with thousands taking part in a colourful parade through the capital.

The 2023 theme is ‘Never March Alone’ in support of trans and non-binary allyship and about 600 LGBT+ groups will attend.

It marks 51 years since the first march for LGBT+ rights in the capital, in 1972.

This year, the parade began at 12pm and ran from Hyde Park Corner, through Piccadilly Circus, down Haymarket and along Pall Mall to Trafalgar Square, culminating at Whitehall Place. Crowds were invited to watch from any of the designated public spaces along the route.

This year, The Independent is proud to be the exclusive media partner of Pride in London and will be taking part in the parade, which is led by mayor Sadiq Khan.

Rita Ora and Adam Lambert will be among those performing at the main stage on Trafalgar Square.

A detailed map of the parade route and key locations can be found here.
