What is the theme for Pride in London 2024?

This year, the theme for Pride in London is 'We Are Everywhere', celebrating the power, presence and importance of the LGBTQ+ community.

Explaining the theme, organisers share: "#WeAreEverywhere champions the everyday lives of Londoners, focusing on individuals whose very power comes from their defiant determination to live as their unapologetic selves.

"These queer people stand out in spaces that they enter day after day; they create space where there is none, live life on their own terms and pave the way so others can follow."
