Destination of the Week: London
Why you should go
The LGBTQ+ scene is legendary in London, to the point it’s well-regarded as Europe’s gay capital, and proudly boasts the largest gay population on the continent. February is LGBT+ History Month; this year’s topic celebrates LGBTQ filmmakers and the city is host to a series of month-long events. London Pride explodes on to the city’s streets from Hyde Park to Whitehall Place on Saturday, July 1, just as the capital settles in for summer.
