At the heart of Pride, Soho stands as the ultimate destination to continue the celebration this Pride Month. Renowned for its rich history of inclusivity, vibrant parades, and iconic LGBTQ+ bars and music venues, this central London hotspot will once again serve as the lively backdrop for a month packed with festivities.
This year, Soho will come alive with a dynamic line-up of in-store experiences across food, beauty, and fashion. Local businesses and residents will join in the celebration throughout Pride Month, leading up to the main event on Saturday 5th July.
