Parade Route

The Croydon PrideFest walking parade was free to attend and open to everybody who wanted to support our LGBTQIA+ community and be part of the amazing festival.

 

Parade Route

The parade started from outside Marks & Spencer on North End, Croydon, CR9 1SH at 12:00 Saturday, 19th July 2025 and lasted approximately 45 minutes.

1. Starting from outside Marks & Spencer, the parade headed South down North End.
2. At the junction of North End, High Street, George Street, and Church Street, the parade turned to the right and followed the tram line down Church Street.
3. The parade proceeded through Church Street tram stop, onto Cairo New Road, and underneath Jubilee Bridge onto Lower Church Street.
4. The parade then turned left onto Waddon New Road, over the roundabout, and up the stairs onto the railway bridge before continuing into Wandle Park where it ended at Croydon PrideFest.

Stair-free access to Wandle Park was available by continuing along Waddon New Road to the traffic lights, turning right onto Bridge Parade leading onto Waddon Road, and turning right onto Vicarage Road. Alternatively, it was possible to take the tram from Reeves Corner one stop towards Wimbledon, alighting at Wandle Park. Trams were running from Reeves Corner, instead of Church Street, due to planned engineering works.

Important information for spectators

• It was possible to view the parade from the sides of North End or from the pavements on Church Street, Lower Church Street, or Waddon New Road.
• Participation in the parade was for registered organisations and individuals only.
