This was a hugely enjoyable and informative walk taking in many of the important facets of Islington's LGBT history, from the places Joe Orton lived and hung out to the sites where many LGBT "firsts" happened (such as the first gay marriage and the first gay rights march). The walk lasts for about 90 minutes and runs from the Angel, Islington to Highbury Fields, so not too long either in time or distance. Highly recommended!

Had a very enjoyable CIGA guided walk in Islington today visiting places associated with artists who once lived in the area and painted local landmarks. Knowledgeable and friendly guide who shared many amusing anecdotes about former inhabitants of this fascinating part of London. An informative and fun walk. Will definitely book with CIGA again.

I had the fantastic opportunity to take a tour of Canonbury Tower with an excellent guide. She was very welcoming, knowledgeable and smart. I was so impressed by this tour and guide that I look forward to participating in other tours led by Clerkenwell & Islington guides.
