Overview

This tour has it all! First up this area is largely unspoilt having escaped the bombing of WWII which means that you will see beautiful examples of Georgian and Victoria Squares. Secondly you will discover a whole host of LGBTQI+ women whose contribution to the world of medicine, literature and art has been astounding. Your guide will tell you stories of brave and bold women whose choice to live openly queer lives in times of prejudice will surprise you. We shall also talk about Britain's first Trans woman and the help she received to transition from Britain's first Trans man! From Lesbian crime novelists to sexually, bisexual nurses to the sexually fluid Bloomsbury set! We shall walk down into Soho and your guide will introduce you to an LGBTQI + bar where you can partake of an optional drink and the chance to connect and chat with other walkers (not included but encouraged). Your guide has lived in London 40 years and was part of the LGB 80s/90s activism.
