The Pride Parade starts off on Baker Street at 1pm and turns onto Oxford Street at the Selfridges corner. It then goes does Oxford St, Regent Street, Piccadilly Circus, Lower Regent St, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and then doubles back to finish on the Embankment near Temple. So, just do not hang around the Marble Arch area as that is slightly off route. There are suppose to be a fair few floats this year too. Most of the roads around Soho and Trafalgar Square will be closed.

The committed activist will do the full route to shout at 10 Downing Street. Other more flakey queens will tend to break off at Trafalgar Square to head off to the bars at Soho. There is only so far one fan walk in heels after all .

The festivities will end on 2 July with a fundraising gala at the Royal Albert Hall.
Just saw on Gay.com that Elton is headlining .
