Pride on the Plaza

Plan your visit

Join this free full-day celebration marking LGBTQ+ history and people in the Square Mile

Pride on the Plaza is a full-day celebration of LGBTQ+ life in the heart of the City – bringing together talks, guided walks, live performances, music, community stalls and an after-party for City workers, allies and visitors.

Pride on the Plaza 2026 will transform Bishopsgate Plaza – outside the Pan Pacific London near Liverpool Street – into one of the City’s largest Pride celebrations ever.

Taking place on Wednesday 1 July, the day will bring together City workers, residents, visitors, businesses and community organisations for a free, welcoming and highly visible celebration of LGBTQ+ life in the Square Mile.

The programme will run throughout the day, combining discovery sessions, LGBTQ+ guided walking tours, an immersive outdoor festival on the Plaza, and an official after-party at The Andaz Hotel. Highlights will include performances from the London Gay Men’s Chorus, Diversity Choir and other curated acts, alongside opportunities to learn, connect and celebrate.

Pride on the Plaza is designed to bring together the City’s professional community and grassroots LGBTQ+ celebration – creating a joyful, accessible and inclusive moment in one of London’s busiest business districts.

The event is supported by the EC BID, the City of London Corporation, Interbank, and major corporate partners including Royal Bank of Canada, Salesforce, Pan Pacific London, The Andaz Hotel and Taittinger.

It will also raise awareness and support for LGBTQ+ charities through a high-profile charity raffle and on-site presence for the community.

Times: 10am–10pm Wednesday 1 July.

Tickets: More information is to be released shortly.
