Walking London’s queer history
-
Uncover London's queer past on this guided walk.
Uncover hidden histories that prove queer people have always been here – and always will be.
Queer people have lived in London since it was founded their traces can be found all over the capital.
In recent times, we've seen queer people step decisively into the open, but what about those who lived through Roman occupation, the medieval period and the English Civil War?
Walking through the City of London, our guide will uncover some hidden histories: queer struggle, queer joy, late-night trysts in St Paul's Cathedral and thieves in controversial clothing.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start time of your walk.
You'll find details of the meeting point on your order confirmation and on your PDF ticket.
Walks will go ahead as planned if it rains, so please come dressed for changeable weather and wear comfortable shoes.
