About

Tour information

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.

Weather

Walking tours will take place outside and last for 90 minutes. Walks will go ahead as planned if it rains, so please come dressed for changeable weather and wear comfortable shoes.
