What Visitors Say
Very small, only two rooms and a lot of the wall space is empty. It is free admission so worth a visit if you’re at Kings Cross, I made a donation as it would be great to see it more full of items in here. Staff very friendly and helpful. The air con is delicious!
Lovely little museum that shows off a side of queer history we don't hear about. Amazing little artifacts and videos. The staff are so kind and helpful. And overall just a nice calm place. I get close to tears at the exhibitions here, they are so moving and I'm glad they are getting attention.
A small museum, but with a very powerful and meaningful collection. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I'm glad I went out of my way to see it!
An engaging little museum on the fight for LGBTQ+ equality that my friends and I enjoyed wandering around- it probably took us around an hour. Free, but with the opportunity to make a donation, and queer businesses feature in the gift shop 🏳️🌈
A lovely free museum to stroll through for a good history lesson on the queerness of Britain! The museum is donation based and very inclusive. At the time of this review they only had 2 rooms, but working on building more. My favourite part were the antique telephone which played recording of people who had worked on the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard. Has a lovely little store with queer books and souvenirs at the end. Although small, it is well curated and it’s important to keep in mind that their limited exhibits is not due to lack of effort, but due to lack of funds. Worth visiting and donating to the cause!
