Why choose this London tour ?

On this self-guided tour of London, you’ll sashay through trial and triumph with London’s most fabulous characters.

Since its very beginning, camp’s attitude and aesthetic have blazed trails across the world, but its real roots are right here in London, just waiting to be discovered – from Mayfair dandies to the trials of Oscar Wilde to Josephine Baker’s Soho dance in a skirt made from bananas.

Celebrate the release of Camp! ‘s author Paul Baker’s most colourful and ambitious book yet on a walking tour exploring the city’s campest landmarks. Paul pulls back the curtain on a world of glitz and grunge, filled with pop culture and protest, while he guides you through Mayfair to St James’s and Soho. He will tell you about the fabulous, memorable people who lived or worked here and their significance to the world of camp. He’ll also consider what makes camp so special, how attitudes towards it have changed over time, and how it continues to evolve, surprise and even upset people.
