London's Best Pride Parties

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.

The Clapham Grand is pulling out all the stops this Pride with not one, but two epic parties on Saturday, the 5th of July 2025. Kicking off with their Pride Day Party, the iconic venue welcomes pop royalty Nadine Coyle to the stage for an afternoon of feel-good anthems, fierce drag, and glitter-fuelled celebrations in true Grand style. Expect a high-energy crowd, jaw-dropping performances, and plenty of surprises along the way.

As the sun sets, the party doesn't stop; it only gets bigger. The Grand's Pride After Party takes things to the next level with a show-stopping double act: Tulisa and Bimini. From powerhouse vocals to boundary-pushing drag, this late-night extravaganza promises unapologetic queer joy, dancefloor anthems, and a night of pure, unfiltered Pride energy. Tickets start at just £15.

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.

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.

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.

One of the most popular spots for Pride parties in London, Circa Embankment is sure to pull out all of the stops this colorful month. Since 2018, this hotspot has been shaking things up in London's LGBTQ+ scene, serving up fun like nobody's business.

A glittering venue on Victoria Embankment, it's dishing out late nights filled with house and R&B classics, live music, and dazzling performers. Join them as live DJs soundtrack a night of drinking, dancing and celebrating in an unparalleled setting. It's the ultimate night out, guaranteed to keep you groovin' and movin'.

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 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.

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.
