University of London takes part in Pride Month

Our old mortar board-style float was gracefully retired and recycled earlier this year, and for this parade we debuted our eye-catching new float. It was a fantastic day of colour, music, dancing, acceptance, and love as we enjoyed navigating the parade route through the streets of London!

University can often be the first place that LGBTQ+ people find they are able to explore who they are and bring their whole self to campus. For this reason, the University of London is a keen supporter of Pride Month. We also want to show solidarity, purpose and commitment with our Federation Members and wider London community where students from across the world celebrate Pride in London and the LGBTQ+ equality. 

We recognise that participating in Pride means doing the hard work. The University of London, whilst founded on the principles of equality and access, has an ambitious equality and inclusion vision and objectives that we are working towards achieving. 

We are committed “to continue to build on the founding ideals of inclusivity, diversity and collaboration of the University of London and to champion inclusive cultures, structures and journeys to enable our collective expertise and strengthen our connections and collaborations nationally and worldwide.”
