Pride parade and classic car show closes many downtown roads today
Plan your route if you're heading to downtown London Sunday as the number of road closures may have you driving in circles. The annual Pride London parade will see Queens Avenue closed between the Western Fair Market to Victoria Park, with some side streets also blocked. Some 4,000 people are expected to attend, organizers say, with floats and performers leaving the fair grounds at noon, and roads remaining closed until approximately 4 p.m. Richmond Row will also be closed from the edge of Victoria Park at Central, north to Oxford Street for the fourth annual Rides on Richmond. It's a free classic car show with owners encouraged to bring their classic, custom, lowriders, muscle or exotic vehicles. That event will see the roads closed between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
