Harlots, Strumpets and Tarts Theatrical Walk

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. What was it really like for them, and have we learned the lessons of the past?
