This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after

Overview
This is no ordinary walking tour…Discover the wild sides of Covent Garden and the Seven Dials! On this walk of two historic London neighbourhoods, we’ll uncover hidden stories and the untold lives of the colourful characters that have made this quirky district their home through the centuries - all the way to today!
This is where people who didn’t “fit in”…fit in! Our misfits might be market traders, sex workers, rock bands, actors, painters, poets, writers, gin sellers, suffragettes, social reformers, members of the queer community, or visionaries and pioneers!
As an extra special treat, our walk includes a short visit inside The Actor’s Church (St Paul’s Church), a vital hub for the community since 1633.
Join us as we share incredible stories of a district that has always defied conventions - from the gay subculture of the 18th century, the black actors paving the way through Victorian theatre or a hospital staffed entirely by women…before women were allowed to vote!
