Queer Tour of Dalston!
Join Queer Tours of London's DAN DE LA MOTTE and Unity Arts' LIL WARREN for this brand new tour of Dalston, commissioned by Hackney Council as part of the borough's LGBTQIA History Month celebrations.
On this 90 minute free walking tour, join us as we delve into the queer goings on at the Rio Cinema, contemporary nighttime spaces (standing strong in the face of diminishing LGBTQ+ nightlife in London) Dalston Superstore, the Divine and vogue fabrics, as well as the less likely spaces where queer mischief thrives, such as St Paul’s church, home of Duckie’s Posh Club. Things then take a more anarchic turn as we pop in for a metaphorical cuppa at 359 Amhurst Road, the home of the Angry Brigade. Afterwards we lament the now-lost lesbian spaces on Cazenove Road and honour local Queers icons such as Marc Bolan and Amy Winehouse.
While previous tours have spanned Hackney’s Queer history throughout time, this one is deliberately rooted and routed in the poptastic 20th & 21st Century.
