Tube and train disruptions during Pride 2026
Travel disruption is expected on the Hammersmith & City and District lines, as well as the DLR. Most TfL services will run, but they are likely to be particularly busy. Some stations may become exit-only if crowds are heavy. For the start of the parade, use Hyde Park Corner and Marble Arch stations. For the middle, Green Park and Piccadilly Circus are best. For the end at Trafalgar Square, use Charing Cross and Embankment stations.
Bus services during the parade
Most London buses will operate as normal, but TfL advises that some routes in central London will be on diversion or will stop short of their usual destination due to road closures. Attendees are encouraged to use public transport and arrive early to avoid queues at stations and bus stops, especially around Soho and Trafalgar Square.
