🏳️‍🌈 Camden’s LGBT+ Stories – Past, Present & Yours to Tell 🏳️‍⚧️

Camden has a proud and powerful LGBT+ history - shaped by pioneers, activists, writers and iconic venues that built community and drove change.

From Dr Harold Gillies’ groundbreaking gender-affirming surgery in 1946, to Antony Grey’s leadership in the fight for decriminalisation, Camden has been at the heart of progress. It has welcomed activists like Kathlyn Oliver and Mark Ashton, literary voices including Virginia Woolf and Amy Levy, and trailblazing spaces such as Gay’s the Word, the Camden Black Le***an’s Group, The Black Cap, The Bell and The Caravan Club.

These stories, and many more, live on at the Camden People’s Museum, an ever-growing digital and physical collection celebrating Camden’s culture and community.

💬 Now we want to hear from YOU.

For LGBT+ History Month, we’re inviting you to share your Camden LGBT+ story.
It could be a funny memory, a brilliant night out, an inspiring person or a moment that mattered. Whatever it is, what we want to hear from you!

📝 100–750 words
🎨 You can include images, drawings or film
🙈 You can stay anonymous
📩 Email: culture@camden.gov.uk

Your story will become part of Camden People’s Museum — helping preserve and celebrate our shared history for generations to come.

So proud that Camden is home to Q***r Britain, the UK’s only LGBTQ+ museum 🏳️‍🌈✨

🎉***rbritain opened in King’s Cross in 2022 - and four years on, it remains the only dedicated bricks-and-mortar LGBTQ+ history museum in the country. What a thing to have right here in our borough!

Recently reopened with six new themed displays and over 200 objects on show, the museum continues to tell powerful stories of q***r life, creativity and resistance. One of the standout exhibitions now showing is ‘Resist!’, spotlighting the story of London’s Black Le***an and Gay Centre and the activist energy that shaped our communities 📢

From protest and politics to club culture, sport and domestic life, Q***r Britain ensures these stories are preserved, recorded and shared with future generations.

🏛️You can read more about the story of Q***r Britain - and Camden’s incredible LGBTQ+ history - in Camden’s LGBT+ Stories from ’smuseum - link in bio

We’re incredibly proud that this vital national institution calls Camden home 💜

The LGBT+ History Walk: From Prejudice to Pride might be sold out, but if you’d love to come along, make sure you sign up to the waiting list in case any tickets are returned.

We’ll be exploring the streets of Bloomsbury and King’s Cross and stepping into the stories of those who dared to live, love and resist openly - from Molly Houses and Victorian cross-dressers to the Bloomsbury Set, Polari, the fight against Section 28, and the first same-sex weddings at Camden Town Hall.

Even better, all proceeds from Pay What You Can ticket donations will go to Mosaic LGBT+ Young Persons’ Trust 💜 - a Camden-based charity supporting, educating and inspiring LGBT+ young people aged 12–18 and 18–25. Absolutely delighted to be supporting such an important local organisation.

It's Saturday night - who's hitting the dancefloor? 💖🏳️‍🌈

Well, we know where it was going down in late 1940s/early 1950s in Camden! Long before Pride flags filled the streets, these incredible people were dancing, dressing up and quietly blazing a trail for the LGBTQ+ community ✨

At the Camden People's Museum we've delved into the story of Hampstead Town Hall - a place that hosted radical gatherings, joyful fancy dress balls and some of the very first LGBTQ+ discos, offering rare moments of freedom and self-expression at a time when being yourself was dangerous. It’s an inspiring reminder of the courage, creativity and community that have always lived here ✨

With huge thanks to (current occupants of the old town hall) for sharing this story with us for LGBT+ History Month and for continuing to honour and protect this legacy through their work today 💫

Just one of the many LGBT+ stories rooted in our borough - find out more at camdenpeoplesmuseum.org or via our link in bio 💕
