London Queer Walking Tour of Soho and Piccadilly 21.11.26
About this Event
Join me for an exciting and illuminating experience as we explore the vibrant LGBTQ+ history of London.
This alternative walking tour explores queer place-making in London’s pleasure district of Soho and the surrounding area of Piccadilly, focusing on lesbian, bisexual and trans identities. We will explore how queer people have created spaces for community, friendship, sexual freedom and activism.
City of London certified guide Inigo will introduce you to interesting individuals that have played with their sexuality and gender presentation throughout the last few centuries. Discover the stories of trailblazers, artists, and activists who have made their mark on this diverse and inclusive city.
We'll visit unlikely landmarks that have played a pivotal role in shaping London's queer identity, including a tailors, a tea house and a pay-by-the-hour hotel. Stepping back into the hidden world of possibilities that is Soho, we will consider the public and the private, belonging, respectability, ‘mainstream-ification’ and the ongoing impact of laws up to the present.
If you're passionate about LGBTQ+ history or simply curious to learn more, this is perfect for you. Grab your friends, put on your walking shoes, and join us for a memorable few hours of exploration and celebration. Book your spot now and get ready to experience the magic of the Queer City.
See you there!
