LGBTQ+ History Month – Queer Tour of The Old City

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/queer-tour-of-the-old-city-lgbtq-history-month-tickets-529217352347

The second of our tours for LGBTQ+ History Month – The Old City….London – a law unto itself, with over two thousand years of history, a global financial centre, and the place where if you dig down far enough, you’ll surely stumble across a Roman Phallus Amulet or two. Stand in the shadow of St Paul’s Cathedral and bask in its reverence as you reflect on the site’s extended history as the central cottaging station for gay men throughout the ages. Uncover centuries of persecution beneath the City’s revered centre, and have a strut down the Sodomite’s Walk…(oi, oi!)

Not the City you knew? Join Our Dani of Queer Tours of London on this excavation of the City of London’s LGBTQ+ juicy history – long since buried, but far from forgotten!

LGBTQ+ History Month – Queer Tour of Soho

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/queer-tour-of-soho-lgbtq-history-month-tickets-526345372177

This year’s LGBTQ+ History month is upon us, so what better way to celebrate this bloody beautiful community, and help beat those winter blues than a Queer Tour of London?!

This month we’re offering two public tours, led by Our Dani – firstly Soho – discover the hidden Queer history of the night-time spaces in this area; the bars and clubs that operated in the years before decriminalisation, often right under the police’s nose. Learn about Soho’s leading lesbian power-couple, ‘the cult of the clitoris’, police entrapment and raids, Polari (the secret gay code) and incredible and inspiring stories of queer people standing up to oppression and their oppressors!

Well hello! And a happy new yearn to you all! We hope you’re thriving in your endeavours, whatever they may be!

Here at QToL we’ve been gearing up to take those streets by storm, shining that light on London’s rich LGBTQ+ history across 2023.

We’d like to say a big thank you to the Mayor of London and the folks at the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm for our Untold Stories grant! We’ll be using it to go towards a training programme for a gaggle of gorgeous new guides to join our team, so watch this space!

Dates TBA!
