Nick Collinson is a London-based researcher, curator and guide specialising in overlooked histories, particularly queer lives.
A former Interpretation Manager at English Heritage, Nick has developed research, exhibitions, walks and talks for organisations including the Museum of London, Bishopsgate Institute, Sotheby’s Institute of Art and The London Archives, and has brought stories to wider audiences through the BBC and ITV.
His walking tours uncover the people, places and stories that have shaped London but too often get left out of its history — from queer artists, writers and relationships to nightlife, activism, scandal and everyday life.
Nick’s walks are thoroughly researched, informal and friendly, combining serious history with good storytelling and a sense of humour.
