We’re Here, We’re Queer…and We’re Tourists!
In the Extreme Tourists tour, you aren’t just seeing some interesting parts of central London – you are also taking back the streets in true ‘queer’ style. “How?” you ask. By singing and dancing, of course!
Your journey will take you to touristy sights around Green Park, Picadilly, Soho and Leicester Square. You will discover what makes these areas so special in London’s history, but also re-appropriate these spaces with the life and vigour that only tourists (or touristic Londoners) can!
You won’t be just a spectator in this tour, you’ll be taking part in fun activities, and your Plutonian space mermaid Wet Bambie will be there to guide you every step and skip of the way.
Your Tour Guide: Wet Bambie
Wet Bambie is your sister mermaid from another planet. Travelling from the reaches of Pluto (don’t try to tell her it’s not a planet, that won’t be well received) she has studied humans for such a long time, and now she’s here to see it for herself.
She’s an excitable party animal who is fascinated by everything we do here on Earth. She loves telling stories and so is extremely excited to share with you all she’s learned about the queer history of London.
Just don’t be too surprised when she starts gushing over how ‘cute’ pigeons are…
The Sights You’ll See
When you go on a walking tour with a drag queen – especially one who hails from the other side of the solar system – these sights are not just seen, they’re illuminated in glittery glamour.

- We will meet at The Back Room
- We’ll do a warm up in Green Park
- Followed by a trot down to Picadilly Circus
- And then we’ll take back Old Compton Street in Soho
- Followed by a quick rest at The Curzon
- We will then be proper tourists in Chinatown
