It’s typically a bit of a dry spot for LGBTQ+ nightlife, but leafy west London’s getting a dose of Pride action with this boisterous night at a local history museum. There’ll be a drag king Freddie Mercury, a queer pub quiz and DJs from Unskinny Bop, all housed in the splendour of a manor once owned by a Rothschild. Gunnersbury Park Museum. Tube: Acton Town. Fri Jul 5. £6.
Pride in London might be centred around the parade on Saturday July 6, but it’s far from a one-day event. Hundreds of brilliant off-shoot Pride talks, parties, shows and exhibitions are held across the city right up until Sunday July 7. Whether you want to rave, protest, debate or just lose yourself in a much smaller crowd, there’s a Pride celebration for pretty much everyone. Here are some of our favourites.
