Overview
Discover the hidden, powerful, and often overlooked story of London’s LGBTQ+ history on this free, guided walking tour. Starting at the Clermont Hotel, Charing Cross, next to Trafalgar Square, we explore over 2,000 years of queer life, resistance, and community in the capital.
From Roman sexual fluidity and the devastating impact of the Buggery Act, to secret Molly Houses, the persecution of Oscar Wilde, and the rise of Pride, this tour uncovers stories that shaped both London and LGBTQ+ rights. We also explore Soho’s central role in queer life, including the AIDS crisis, vital sexual health clinics, London’s drag scene, and the lasting impact of the Admiral Duncan pub bombing.
This 2-hour LGBTQ+ walking tour finishes in Soho Square and is ideal for LGBTQ+ visitors, allies, locals, and travelers looking for meaningful and inclusive things to do in London.
Book now and explore London’s queer history where it happened.
Groups larger than six people and educational groups must arrange a private tour in advance.
