Lunchtime Walk 2pm: Trafalgar Square Tour: “Drop your trousers, drop your laws”

Meeting point in front of Embankment Station - Capacity 20.

Sit yourself on top of the lions and take a moment before we start this tour. Hold your heart and soak in the thousands of dreams that have been hard fought for and won here. Trafalgar Square is the heartbeat of democracy and people power in London Town. It provides a toolkit to change the world so rich that you will want to stand up and shout your dreams up into the sky, so that one day, they can come true too. So clear your throat, take a swig of water, get ready to shout and celebrate Queer movements for freedom here in the centre of London Town!
