Camden marches in London Pride 2025
Last weekend (5 July) Camden Council marched proudly in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community at London Pride, demonstrating its long history of LGBTQ+ protest and activism.
Camden Council’s councillors, staff and families marched together in the parade, representing Camden’s LGBTQ+ residents and communities and celebrating the immense contributions they make to Camden’s bright and diverse identity.
The group proudly brandished a giant banner as they marched, with t-shirts and lollipop signs reiterating the message that “Camden is no place for hate”.
Camden’s Pride celebrations continued the same day with the vibrant Queer Artist Market and Craft Workshop held in St Giles Square.
Members of the public enjoyed crafting decorative signs using glitter and ribbons and shared heartfelt messages for London Pride. The market stallholders offered a variety crafted goods such as jewellery, art prints and greeting cards.
Supported by the Council and delivered in partnership with the Gospel Oak community café Mother Canteen, the event was a celebration of creativity, community, and pride.
Artist Ted Tinkler attended the event to host creative conversations with attendees that will feed into a new artwork, commissioned by the Council, which will be exhibited at Camden Town Hall later this year.
"It's always a joy to see Camden staff marching proudly to represent our borough’s LGBTQ+ communities. Camden is no place for hate, and we stand with our communities against homophobia and transphobia this month and every month.”
