London will be getting gay traffic lights for Pride for the first time this year.

Around 50 pedestrian traffic signals around Trafalgar Square will show seven LGBTI designs instead of the standard ‘walk’ symbol from 19 June.

These designs include two men, two women and the widely recognized trans symbol.

London mayor Sadiq Khan said: ‘One of the greatest things about this city is our differences and every Londoner should be proud of who they are.

‘I am very proud of our LGBT+ community here and I am looking forward to working closely with them as their Mayor.

‘Our thoughts and prayers are of course still with the families and friends of the victims of the hideous recent attack in Orlando. These new signals show that we stand shoulder to shoulder with them and display the tolerance and celebration of difference in our city.’

TfL will also be hosting some of Pride in London’s main performers at its busking slots at Tottenham Court Road and Charing Cross Tube stations, including special drag acts and Pride’s Got Talent winner Jack Fuereisen.

Pride in London’s main parade will take place this Saturday (25 June).
