When it comes to London, we are the first to admit that we are very biased in our opinion that it is one of the very best gay cities in the world. The real joy of the UK”s capital city for the queer community is that it offers a combination of a wealth of history plus such an enviable coterie of LGBTQ- culture and activities.
There is a lot to absorb and participate in and if you are just visiting then you’ll need some pointers to help you enjoy the best of London’s rich past. There is no better way than to do this is to pick up a copy of Dan Glass’s excellent ‘Queer Footprints A Guide to Uncovering London’s Fierce History’.
It will take you through the city streets to uncover the scandalous, hilarious, and empowering events of London’s queer story. You can follow in the footprints of veteran activists, such as those who marched in London’s first Pride parade in 1972 or witnessed the 1999 bombing of the Admiral Duncan pub in Soho.
From the Brixton Fairies to Notting Hill Carnival to world-changing protests in Trafalgar Square, Rebel Dykes to drag queen communes, Queer Footprints celebrates the hidden histories of struggle and joy. Including an accessibility guide and a list of these gems for your pleasure – queer spaces, clubs, networks and resources galore.
