A Camp Self-Guided Tour of London with Paul Baker

Overview

Created by a Professor of English and leading historian of LGBTQ+ culture, this digital audio experience pulls back the curtain on London’s most flamboyant and subversive history. While standard group tours stick to well-trodden royal routes, this tour ventures through the sophisticated alleys of Mayfair and the gritty corners of Soho, where "camp" was born as a form of protest and self-expression. You'll go from the former residence of dandy Beau Brummell to the glamour of The Ritz, pausing at the site where David Bowie got his big break and the theatre where Josephine Baker captivated the city. Using smart GPS technology, the authentic commentary and atmospheric soundscapes trigger automatically as you walk, functioning entirely offline to ensure your focus remains on the stories rather than your data. By the time you finish among the neon lights of Old Compton Street, the city’s landmarks will have transformed from mere architecture into a living record of trial and triumph.
