This year’s Pride is filled with huge anticipation as a full calendar of events is set to return for the first time in three years. The 50th anniversary of Pride in London will see the buzzing capital thriving with parties, parades and protests all over.
London Pride’s 2022 #AllOurPride theme encapsulates this sense of coming together again as we will be “uniting the collective past, present and future of pride from every corner of the LGBTQ+ community.” With Covid cancellations and livestream events prioritising the last few years of Pride, 2022 is lined up to be extra special as everyone will be pulling out all the stops.
Here are some of our standout parties to celebrate Pride through the day and into the night!
