This is no ordinary walking tour…Discover the wild sides of Covent Garden and the Seven Dials! On this walk of two historic London neighbourhoods, we’ll uncover hidden stories and the untold lives of the colourful characters that have made this quirky district their home through the centuries - all the way to today! This is where people who didn’t “fit in”…fit in! Our misfits might be market traders, sex workers, rock bands, actors, painters, poets, writers, gin sellers, suffragettes, social reformers, members of the queer community, or visionaries and pioneers! As an extra special treat, our walk includes a short visit inside The Actor’s Church (St Paul’s Church), a vital hub for the community since 1633. Join us as we share incredible stories of a district that has always defied conventions - from the gay subculture of the 18th century, the black actors paving the way through Victorian theatre or a hospital staffed entirely by women…before women were allowed to vote!

This was an amazing tour for those interested in the less explored side of history. Charlotte taught me so much about the social history of the Covent Garden and Seven Dials areas and the lives of both quirky and ordinary people. Highly recommended for people interested in the history of people's lives.

I really enjoyed the history/stories of the people who lived in Covent Gardens. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of the group. It was a great opportunity to walk through areas I probably wouldn’t go.

If you want a walking tour that's more than the usual tourist fare, *The Misfits of Covent Garden* by Rebel Tours is a must! It is an engaging and insightful tour, filled with stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Our guide, Ellie, was exceptional! Her storytelling and deep knowledge brought Covent Garden’s history to life, vividly, focusing on the rebels, artists, and visionaries who shaped the area. This tour is highly recommended!
