Join City St George’s at Pride in London

City St George’s and the Students’ Union will be taking part in this year’s Pride in London Parade on Saturday 4 July.

We’ve secured a place in the parade and will be marching together as the City St George’s group alongside members of staff and students.

This is a chance to celebrate, represent and stand in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities at one of the UK’s biggest Pride events.

There are 30 student places available to join the parade.
