The signals, inspired by a similar set that were produced in Vienna last year, were designed in-house at Transport of London (TfL) and installed by Siemens on June 19.
“One of the greatest things about this city is our differences and every Londoner should be proud of who they are," Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said.
“I am very proud of our LGBT+ community here and I am looking forward to working closely with them as their mayor.
“Our thoughts and prayers are of course still with the families and friends of the victims of the hideous recent attack in Orlando.
"These new signals show that we stand shoulder to shoulder with them and display the tolerance and celebration of difference in our city."
Buskers from Pride will also perform at Tottenham Court Road and Charing Cross Tube stations, including Pride's Got Talent winner Jack Fuereisen.
"It's fantastic that London is a city so keen to celebrate Pride that even traffic lights can be used," Alison Camps, Director at Pride in London, said. "For many people acceptance and tolerance is a luxury they don't have, and these lights are another display of how welcoming and accepting London is."
"Our campaign this year is called #NoFilter, letting people live their lives as they want to. These lights are a perfect display of that, saying that our city recognises each and every one of us for who we are."
