Gay Events London

What's On This Week.

There’s no shortage of vibrant, gay nightlife hotspots. Soho remains the heart of London’s cluster of gay bars and clubs along Old Compton Street. Saunas are also part of the scene, with venues like SweatBox providing essential facilities for regular Londoners and those lonely tourists. Vauxhall offers edgy late-night club options.

Are there any prides, circuit parties or mega gay events in London?

This is London, mega events are the city’s vibe.

Pride London is one of the longest-running LGBTQ+ parades in the UK and attracts an estimated 1.5 million visitors to the city each July. The festival’s events and location within London vary every year; however, the Pride parade is the only annual event to close London’s iconic Oxford Street. It commemorates LGBTQ+ resistance to the violent police enforcement of immoral ‘morality laws’.

One of the biggest events in London’s gay calendar is Mighty Hoopla which is the biggest LGBT pop festival in London. It takes place in Brockwell Park and features some of the biggest names in pop music.

London has a number of regular gay parties that take over clubs across the city.

Roast, Trough, Unicorn take place on regular intervals and all offer a wild late night of partying with onsite dark rooms. WE Party is another popular gay party organiser that hosts events throughout the year.
