Graham Robson February 12, 2024

Join tour guides London With a Local for a FREE Queer and LGBT+ History Tour of the capital, which explores the vast and complex history of LGBTQ+ life in London, with stories of iconic people and places who have shaped the city and community through the centuries.

Weaving through the streets of London’s West End, learn about pioneering drag queens from the 1700s, secret gay soirées of the 1920s, and the infamous development of Soho, one of the world’s best loved queer neighbourhoods.

London With a Local said: “Today the LGBTQ+ community’s presence can be seen across every borough and street in London. Though many inequalities still exist, we take pride in a community which has been through so much, from repression and persecution, to violence and discrimination, yet continues to strive towards bringing equality and inclusivity to all.”
