Pride parade in central London

Central London will be busier than usual this weekend due to several events taking place, including the Pride in London Parade. The majority of TfL services will be running, but stations and services in central London will be particularly busy and people may need to queue to board a train. 

Some bus routes in central London will also be on diversion or stopping short of their usual destination due to road closures. Oxford Circus Tube station may also close at short notice on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 June due to industrial action. Read our full guide to London Pride here.
