  • London Buzzes with Pride, Music, and More this Weekend

    London Buzzes with Pride, Music, and More this Weekend
    Jul 5 2025
    London is buzzing this week with events and festivals that make the city truly come alive. Saturday July 5 is headlined by Pride in London, Europe’s largest Pride event. The parade kicks off at noon from Hyde Park Corner and winds through the heart of the city with bold, colourful floats and up to a million revellers celebrating LGBTQIA+ communities. Along the route, you’ll find six official stages in Soho, Leicester Square, and Trafalgar Square, with performances by iconic drag artists, acclaimed DJs, and food stalls to keep the party going. Pride in London reports that this year’s headline act at the Main Stage in Trafalgar Square is the legendary Chaka Khan, and the official afterparty will fill London’s LGBTQ+ venues with music and dancing late into the night.

    If you’re looking to kick off the weekend with brunch and a show, The Actors’ Church in Covent Garden hosts a Big Gay Brunch all morning, featuring drag artist Le Gateau Chocolat, stars of Magic Mike Live, comedy, games, and plenty of food and drink. It’s a perfect warm-up for the day’s festivities, according to Londonist.

    Fitness fans can head to the Ministry of Sound Games at the famous club in Elephant & Castle. In this high-energy event, teams compete in strength training, explosive cardio, and team drills, all soundtracked by live DJs. It’s a unique way to merge London’s nightlife with a proper morning workout.

    For book lovers, Glaziers Hall near London Bridge is hosting a rare Folio Society Pop-Up Book Sale from 9:30am to 4:30pm. According to Londonist, you can snap up unique editions, ex-library copies, and sample books at a bargain, including some limited editions.

    Theatre remains a strong draw. The Globe Theatre presents Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor—a riotous comedy full of petty rivalries and jealousies starring the disreputable Sir John Falstaff. Over at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, Noughts & Crosses brings Malorie Blackman’s acclaimed love story to the stage. Musicals light up London’s West End with Disney’s Hercules at the Theatre Royal, The Great Gatsby at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, and Just For One Day, the Live Aid musical, each offering unique spins on beloved stories.

    All weekend, London’s first outdoor country music festival debuts, with live acts and plenty of southern charm. Over at Jurassic World: The Experience, families can roam with lifelike dinosaurs, meet Blue the Velociraptor, and participate in hands-on fossil workshops.

    Wimbledon is still in full swing until July 13, so tennis fans can enjoy the excitement either live or at one of the city’s lively outdoor screening spots.

    For those after free activities, Time Out highlights the ongoing Happy Streets Festival in Wandsworth—packed with workshops, live music, and performances—as well as pop-up cinema events and Euros football watch parties in parks across the city.
