Ride with Pride
TfL is celebrating Pride by transforming parts of the transport network with a new rainbow design to show support for the LGBT+ community, as part of a range of activities taking place this month.
The bold new design highlighting #loveislove can be seen above the Oxford Street entrance of Tottenham Court Road station and has been incorporated into a number of rainbow roundels at Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus Tube stations.
Anyone hiring a Santander Cycle has the chance to ride on one of the 50 cycles that have been decorated with rainbow livery on their rear mudguards, demonstrating and celebrating how proud the Capital is of its diversity.
Parade
On the day of the parade, Saturday 8 July, there will also be rainbow flags at several bus stops. Two in the Charing Cross area will remain after the Pride celebrations as a symbol of the organisation's support for the LGBT+ community.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: 'Here in London, you're free to love whoever you want to love and be whoever you want to be. That's just one of the reasons why our city is seen as a beacon for the LGBT+ community and has such a vibrant, thriving scene - one that is bursting with colour, and contributes hugely to the life and soul of London.'
This year's initiatives build on TfL's strong legacy of promoting Pride and follow the installation of the diversity traffic signals last year and a range of rainbow-wrapped vehicles, which included a London bus, a black taxi and a DLR train.
