Yes — same-sex marriage has been legal in England, Wales and Scotland since 2014, and in Northern Ireland since 2020. Civil partnerships predate that (2005).

London (Soho, Vauxhall, East London — diverse and year-round), Manchester (the Canal Street gay village), Brighton (the UK's "gay capital by the sea"), and Birmingham's gay village. Edinburgh and Glasgow have active scenes in Scotland.

Pride in London is early July (one of the world's largest, over a million people). Brighton & Hove Pride is the first weekend of August. Manchester Pride takes the August Bank Holiday weekend. Dozens of smaller UK towns hold Pride between May and September.

Many UK hotels are gay-friendly without explicit marketing. Brighton has several explicitly gay-popular guesthouses. Hotel chains in central London (Soho, Covent Garden) and Manchester (around Canal Street) are reliably welcoming.
