A Queer Walking Tour of Brixton with Ian Townson

This film, led by Ian Townson, delves into the rich history of the LGBT community in Brixton, focusing primarily on the 1970s and early 1980s.

 

Originally a one-off event, Ian’s queer tour of Brixton has become a recurring exploration of the area’s vibrant past. The film highlights the formation and impact of the first-ever gay community centre at 78 Railton Road, along with the development of squatted communal houses predominantly occupied by gay men.
