Gay Pride London
With the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games and Queen's Jubilee all taking place in 2012, London is certainly the place to be if you love being at the centre of large scale cultural events and celebrations. While it's got some pretty stiff competition, World Pride 2012 is certainly a contender for one of the most noteworthy dates in the calendar, as the streets and public spaces of Central London are taken over for one massive celebration of gay pride, identity and culture.
Street party
The annual Pride London march usually attracts hundreds of thousands of supporters, and World Pride 2012 is bound to be even bigger and better than usual as the capital has the official status of hosting the international Pride celebrations. Expect DJ sets, live music, celebrity appearances, inspirational speakers and plenty of associated club nights to take place alongside the main parade on 7th July.
