With BST Hyde Park, Wimbledon and major concerts also taking place across the capital today, organisers are warning London Pride will be extremely busy and to check Tfl Go or Journey Planner before travelling.

The parade starts at 12pm fom Hyde Park Corner and will end around 6pm at Whitehall.

Six stages are stationed across the capital in Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Golden Square, Soho Square, Dean Street and Victoria Embankment Gardens.

With temperatures set to soar as high as 28C today in the capital, London Pride has created a checklist for attendees to keep safe.

"It's going to be HOT tomorrow, so please look after yourselves and each other," organisers said in a post on Instagram.

"Before you head out, make sure you bring:

• Plenty of water (and keep drinking it!)
• Suncream (reapply throughout the day)
• A hat or sunglasses if you have them
• Snacks to keep your energy up
• A portable charger
• Any medication you might need
• ID and a payment card/cash

"If you're drinking alcohol, try to alternate with water - the heat can catch up with you quickly.

"Check in on your friends, take breaks in the shade when you can and don't be afraid to ask for help if you or someone else starts feeling unwell."Have an amazing, safe Pride in London, and remember the best Pride is one where everyone gets home safely."

Road closures will be in place across Westminster and the surrounding areas, including the West End, for most of today as the London Pride parade takes place.

Those looking to attend the event at the start of the parade are being advised to use Hyde Park Corner and Marble Arch Underground stations.

As a top tip, anyone looking for a front-row spot is encouraged to arrive between 25 minutes and an hour before the parade starts.

For the middle of the parade, use Green Park and Piccadilly Circus Tube stations.

To catch performers on the main stage includung MNEK at Trafalgar Square towards the end of the parade, the nearest Tube stations are Charing Cross and Embankment.

For Soho, where the trans and non-binary stage sits in Soho Square, as well as the global majority stage in Golden Square and the cabaret stage on Dean Street, attendees are directed to Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus, Leicester Square and Covent Garden Tube stations.

The force has warned there will be "no tolerance of hate crime" in London this weekend with thousands taking to the streets for the annual Pride parade.

The Met said there will be a "heavy police presence" across the capital to ensure the safety of the anticipated 1.5 million people attending the LGBTQ event.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jon Savell said: "Our priority is to provide a visible, proportionate and effective policing presence that is ready to respond swiftly to any incidents.

"Pride is hugely significant for LGBT+ communities and those attending should be able to do so free from discrimination, abuse or fear.

"There will be no tolerance of hate crime – we urge anyone who is a victim of it to speak to an officer immediately so we can take action."

A stunning line-up of performers, singers and speakers will be on six stages at various points on the London Pride parade route today.

Grammy-nominated singer and producer, MNEK, is headlining the main stage in Trafalgar Square, alongside artists, Beth Ditto and Meek.

Over in Leicester Square, is the LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary stage, with a similar lively line-up of performers, musicians and DJs.
