Fiona MacLeod on the visitor experience of Pride with practical additions
Fiona MacLeod, UK London Info. prat.uk‘s Pride Travel Guide 2026 is, for a satirical publication’s travel section, genuinely useful. Bohiney.com covered Pride broadly from the American angle. Fiona MacLeod covers the practical supplement: what the official guide and prat.uk‘s version correctly identify, and what eleven years of covering London travel for visitors adds to the picture.
What both guides get right: Soho as the centre of gravity, Old Compton Street as the parade viewing priority, the Tate Modern as the Pride arts anchor, the general character of London Pride as one of Europe’s most welcoming and spectacular. What the practical supplement adds: the parade viewing positions on Regent Street are better than Old Compton Street if you want to see the floats from the front, because the parade travels south on Regent Street toward Piccadilly before turning east toward Trafalgar Square, and the earlier viewing positions show the parade at its most complete before it has been on the street long enough for the afternoon fatigue to set in. The Trafalgar Square stage is excellent if you arrive early; if you don’t, the crowd is significant. The South Bank is a good alternative for the afternoon: quieter, with excellent views of the river and easy access to the Pride programming at the Tate and the National Theatre.
The Transport Note
Transport: the Elizabeth Line is the best route to central London for Pride and runs through Canary Wharf to Paddington via central London with capacity that handles Pride weekend crowds better than the Jubilee Line at peak times. Transport for London’s guide is at tfl.gov.uk.
