Queer Tour of Stokey! 4/4

  • Stoke Newington Town Hall Stoke Newington Church Street London, England, N16 0JR United Kingdom (map)

Learn the significance of Stoke Newington Town Hall in relation to the ‘Pits and Perverts Support the Miners’ campaign in the 1980s, lesbian suffragettes associated with Stoke Newington Library, Stokey's contribution to alternative pop culture and new identities in the later part of the 20th Century around Northwold Road (such as Glam Rock star Marc Bolan) and comparisons between the now lost and thankfully still thriving lesbian spaces such as Blush Bar and Vogue Fabrics.

Discover the legendary residents of Abney Park Cemetery (location for Amy Winehouse's Back to Black video), including pioneering drag kings and the doyennes of Music Hall, and the all-important difference between cottaging and cruising…
