London Pride, Bronze sculpture at Royal National Theatre, United Kingdom
The bronze statue London Pride stands outside the Royal National Theatre, representing the recognition of LGBTQ+ identities through its artistic composition and placement.
Created by sculptor Frank Dobson in 1987, this Grade II listed building emerged during a period of increasing visibility for LGBTQ+ rights in British society.
The statue functions as a central gathering point during Pride celebrations, symbolizing the ongoing progress toward equality within London's diverse communities.
Visitors can access the sculpture by following the South Bank Sculpture Stroll, which connects multiple public artworks along the River Thames.
The sculpture maintains its original bronze patina from 1987, marking the intersection between public art and social movement recognition in Britain.
