The exhibition comes at a time of crisis for LGBT venues. Work led by Campkin at University College London’s Urban Laboratory has shown that nightlife, in particular, has been hit hard. From 2006 to 2017, the number of LGBT clubs, bars and performance spaces in London dropped dramatically, from 121 to 51. The phenomenon defies easy explanation, but changing habits and the city’s seemingly unstoppable economic growth play a part. “Some of the media narratives were around technology and Gaydar, Grindr, how that’s changed everything,” says Campkin. “That didn’t really come up so much in the research we did … We noticed that, in a lot of the cases, there was a link to some kind of larger-scale development, or small-scale luxury residential development.”Busis, Hillary (13 January 2017).

It was hardly a hidden world. The Victorian shops would have retained the raucous nature and prominent display of a medieval market rather than that of an invisible underworld. A letter to The Times in 1846 complains of the windows in the street which “display books and pictures of the most disgusting and obscene character, and which are alike loathsome to the eye and offensive to the morals of any person of well-regulated mind”.
