Happy Pride, London! Today is a day to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, as the UK's biggest Pride event takes place in the capital. With around 1.5 million revellers expected to flock to the city, it's sure to be a colorful celebration full of joy and pride.
The likes of RuPaul's Drag Race dancer Todrick Hall and Frozen's Idina Menzel are performing at Trafalgar Square, and although the weather might not be so agreeable, there's 100% chance of seeing a rainbow!
If you're planning on catching a taxi in or you're driving around London for work, you should be aware of the road closures in place. Roads in popular areas like Soho will be closed for near 24 hours, and roads in the area around Hyde Park Corner will be closed from 10am to 9.30pm. Central London roads will be closed from 11am to 10.30pm.
Fear not if you're relying on the Tube and buses, as there are no planned strikes today. To get the best view of the parade, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Haymarket, and Whitehall are great spots, with the closest Tube station to Trafalgar Square being Charing Cross on the Bakerloo or Northern lines.
Although Pride Month is a time to celebrate, it's also an opportunity to reflect on the struggle for equality. The Agency is exploring the theme of family this year, and for the latest coverage, be sure to visit their dedicated Pride page.
Today, let's celebrate and embrace the diverse identities of the LGBTQ+ community, and be proud of how far we've come.
