London's Best Pride Parties

Degenerate Fox's The Dirty Thirty is a fast-paced, interactive theatre experience where 30 plays are performed in just 60 minutes, and the audience decides the order. Taking place at The Rosemary Branch in Islington, tickets range from £12 to £15 for a night packed with comedy, drama, games, and surprises - especially for the Pride special.

Suitable for ages 16 and up, the show runs on Friday 4th July at 9pm and Saturday 5th July at 7pm.

Step inside Two Brewers, Clapham's legendary gay venue that's been serving fabulousness for over 30 years and promises plenty of good vibes this summer. Known for its glitter-filled drag cabaret, this iconic spot offers show-stopping performances seven nights a week, 365 days a year.

Their state-of-the-art club hosts epic dance parties and spectacular shows, from the sensational London Gay Big Band to the uproarious Pam Ann. Head on over to the South London haunt to revel in karaoke, quiz nights and some of the city's best drag acts. Come for the glitz, stay for the glam, and sashay the night away.

Since opening in 1991, Village has become a staple of Soho's gay scene, offering something for everyone under one roof. By day, it's laid-back and understated, but come nightfall, it lights up Old Compton Street with fabulous DJs and sassy go-go boys. With four floors, including an underground club, bar and dance area, and a top-floor chill-out space, this joint has it all. 

Come Pride month, this bar will be buzzing with good vibes, classic dance tunes and a menu of delicious concoctions to help you get in the celebratory spirit. Their epic event's lineup includes DJ's like Niklas Liljesand, Vivian Bam Bam and Kurt Potter alongside fabulous go-go boys serving fabulousness all night.

Celebrate Pride with an intimate screening of the acclaimed romantic drama All of Us Strangers, paired with a gallery takeover by MaisonGb. Your afternoon begins with a welcome drink and ice breaker to help you get to know your fellow guests. 

To keep you fuelled up for all the fun, there's a carefully curated menu of sandwiches and cakes, plus unlimited popcorn all night long. Grab your tickets from just £33.

This summer, Berners Tavern sets the stage for an evening like no other. In collaboration with the creative minds behind Classical Pride, the iconic dining destination proudly presents Classical Drag - a bold blend of contemporary classical music and London's dazzling drag artistry.

Hosted by the ever-fabulous Dinah Lux and Barbs, with guest instrumentalists from the LGBTQ+ classical scene, expect a symphony of wit, theatricality, and haute cuisine. It's a dinner party where Mozart meets mesh, and every note slays.

Get ready to slay the skyline, because 12th Knot - the iconic rooftop bar at Sea Containers London - is throwing the ultimate Pride after party, and it's going to be everything. As the sun dips over the South Bank, we're dialling up the volume and the vibes for a night bursting with queer joy, love, and rooftop magic. Expect epic views, killer DJ sets, live performances, Laurent-Perrier Champagne, and a whole lot of feel-good energy.

On the decks, JVK will be serving up genre-blurring bangers - from house and Afro-house to hip-hop, soul, and reggae - all spun with fire and flair. Dancefloor queen Hayley Wallace, fresh from Glastonbury sets, will be dropping high-energy house and disco edits to keep the crowd moving and glowing all night long.

This Pride season, beloved Soho hotspot Rita's is celebrating with The Sip-In, a limited-edition cocktail menu inspired by the legendary 1966 protest at Julius' Bar in New York City and the trailblazing queer icons who've shaped culture, nightlife, and the Rita's team themselves.

Crafted by head bartender Michael McGrath, the menu showcases three signature cocktails paying tribute to LGBTQ+ pioneers like Lady Phyll, Bronski Beat, and Charlie Craggs. Plus, half of all proceeds will support The Outside Project, London's vital LGBTQIA+ shelter, community centre, and domestic abuse refuge. With a design reminiscent of vintage protest flyers, the menu drops the week of the 30th of June and will be available through to the 5th of July - a perfect way to raise a glass for Pride and the community.

As part of London's vibrant Pride celebrations, The Standard presents the latest edition of TheirStories, an acclaimed intergenerational queer talk series curated by Laurie Belgrave, founder of The Chateau. This installment, titled 'Queer Voices in Football,' brings together players, fans, and changemakers from across the LGBTQ+ community to explore themes of identity, visibility, and inclusion within women's and grassroots football, coinciding with the kickoff of the Women's Euros. The event features a spoken word performance by footballer and artist Caz Simone, followed by a lively panel discussion led by DEI consultant Liz Ward, former footballer Joanie Evans, Hackney Women's FC's Fae Fulconis, and journalist Snake Denton.

After the conversation in The Standard's Library Lounge, guests will head to Double Standard to watch the opening Women's Euros match, accompanied by a celebratory DJ set from Vic Lentaigne. This event is part of a broader Pride programme at The Standard, including a playful collaboration with queer rave and wellness brand HOWL, who have launched 'Dial-for-Pleasure' Love-Kits - an in-room experience designed to bring sensuality and joy throughout the hotel during Pride month.
