Meeting at the Eleanor Cross in the forecourt of Charing Cross Stationthis is a walk which will give you a snapshot view of London's deep history of sexual diversity. The first part of our walk takes in the stories of Oscar Wilde and John Wilmot, the Restoration poet and libertine. We will then meet the Mollies and Macaronis of eighteenth century Covent Garden and hear about an extraordinary French soldier, spy and fencing champion who challenged all the norms of gender identity in the eighteenth century. We will pass the heart of London's modern LGBT community in Soho and end our walk in Fitzrovia where we hear about a Victorian scandal which rocked the establishment to the core. The end of our walk takes us to the notorious Fitzroy Tavern which was the headquarters of the literary and artistic demimonde of the 1920s and 1930s and its Bohemian sub-cultures. This is where walkers who wish can enjoy refreshments in the beautifully restored pub.
