LGBTQ+ History Month
Join us in February as we mark LGBTQ+ History Month with a range of activities, talks and walks that explore London's vast queer history.
From the difficulties in uncovering early queer histories, to the exploration of modern London's extensive queer culture, we've carefully curated a host of activities and talks to inform, treat, challenge and strengthen.
