Why not use LGBTQ+ history month as an excuse to visit the UK's first ever LGBTQ+ museum? This spot offers a valuable peek into centuries of queer history, pulled together by director John Galliano, a former editor of Gay Times. It's a small, free to enter spot that includes exhibits such as the prison door behind which Oscar Wilde wrote De Profundis and photographs documenting stories of struggle and celebration through the decades.
LGBTQ+ history shouldn’t be contained to a single, short month every year. Thankfully, in London you can find some of the best queer club nights in the world, along with special events that celebrate LGBTQ+ life, all year round. But things really hit their peak in February, when hundreds of talks, workshops and festivals appear for LGBTQ+ History Month (February 2023), and this year is no different.
There are free film screenings, alt-cabaret and a queer takeover of Queen’s House to choose from, so whether you’re L, G, B, T, Q, I or straight, prepare to be enlightened, inspired and entertained. Here’s our round-up of the London celebrations and activities.
