London has won the right to host World Pride in 2012. Led by Pride London with support from Visit London and the Mayor of London, London beat tough competition to be awarded the World Pride parade in 2012.

“We are delighted that London was successful in its bid for World Pride. This is a great achievement for London and coming in 2012, it will be a glorious year for our city.
