Walk in a Georgian Harlot's footsteps on our theatrical walking tour where HERstory is brought to life for the festive season!About this Event
"HO HO HO'S..!"
Looking for a fun and thoughtful stocking filler this Christmas? Then look no further!
Hogarth, Harlots, Moll Flanders... you've seen the paintings, watched the TV shows and read the books... now visit the places that London's REAL strumpets called home.
Allow your guide, 'The Baroness' to transport you back to the London of three hundred years ago and into the steamy underworld of the Georgian sex worker. Meet the women that 'made it', and those that ended up in the gutter; the high class courtesans and the gin-addled street walkers; the business-savvy Brothel Madams and the corrupted country girls. Hear the stories of the women that weren't often given a voice - in a trade that existed to serve men and the patriarchy. What was it really like for them, and have we learned the lessons of the past?
Eighteenth Century London's sordid, saucy, and often brutal sex industry is dramatically and comically brought to life in this immersive, theatrical experience for the festive season. **
And when your thirst for lewd women, saucy stories and harrowing histories has been well and truly quenched, we'll finish the experience at a tavern that takes it's name from one of the most notorious courtesans of all time - The Nell Gwynne!
Tour starts at Covent Garden tube station and ends at Nell Gwynne Tavern. Run time: approximately 2 hours. Fancy dress encouraged.
Go on, see who you find under the mistletoe this crimbo!
