The vibrant colours and powerful messages of LGBTQ+ art are taking centre stage on London's transport network with the launch of a new audio tour this month. Free to download from Transport for London's website, the tour takes listeners on a 12-stop journey across the city's underground network, highlighting the work of artists who have been part of the community.
The tour features an array of artwork, from eye-catching murals to poignant photographs, and provides listeners with a unique perspective on the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals in London. Iconic stations like King's Cross St Pancras and Leicester Square are joined by lesser-known gems such as Hampstead and Highbury & Islington.
Each stop on the tour offers a brief history of the artwork, plus insights into the artists who created it. Listeners can also learn about the significance of LGBTQ+ history in London and how it has shaped the city we know today.
The audio tour is available to download for free on any smartphone and marks another milestone in Transport for London's commitment to celebrating the diversity of its communities through art.
