A follow up edition for the 50s, 60s and 70s would be interesting showing the buildings of the 1870s-1945, and especially the areas devasted by the Blitz and V-weapons, that were in turn replaced by ones designed with concrete and steel that today look dirty, tired, oppressive and outdated.

Who is it for?

Chariots wasn’t simply a sex venue, says Sahib. “It was more nuanced than people might expect. Not everyone there was looking for sex. It was also quite intergenerational. I met people there who didn’t identify as gay or exclusively as men. I don’t want to romanticise this too much, because there were problems – certain bodies were excluded, drugs were also an issue. But, in some ways, I met a more diverse range of people than in the gay bars I go to.” By 1834 there were an estimated 57 porn shops in Holywell Street selling novels, prints, etchings, catalogues on prostitute services, guides for Victorian homosexuals and flagellation connoisseurs. 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”. Central London’s gay clubs took on an almost mythical status for Sahib while he was growing up in Ealing. “I used to tune into cable from the next-door neighbours and I’d stay up till midnight to watch 10 minutes of Freeview off the gay channel, which had footage of places like Heaven and the Fridge. I had relationships to those spaces without even having been there.

Aside from such essentially national institutions as The National Archives, the British Library, the Society of Genealogists, the Institute for Historical Research, and the Principal Probate Registry, London has many specialised major libraries and archives, such as: The Registers of the Bishops of London, 1304-1660 are available on microfilm from Thomson Gale, and include ordination registers which are useful for tracing clergy ancestors. There is, however, a deeper Tory malaise that goes beyond Bailey. According to Tony Travers, director of the London School of Economics’ London research group, “the party has almost given up on London” with a decline that started in 1997. “Before that, the Tories were always competitive, particularly in the more affluent suburbs.” I can’t emphasise enough how good these photographs are. They are taken from the LCC collection, now held by English Heritage and are strikingly sharp and detailed. The street scenes they show are curiously both familiar and now very remote.

The loss of so very many buildings because of the necessity of new road planning can be explained and understood as motor vehicles (cheaper) replaced horse-drawn conveyances. Enemy action in both the Great War and the Second World saw off an appreciable number of other buildings, resulting in the necessity for new plans. Renovation and adaptation is invariably cheaper than new-build; though new materials used are so frequently less substantial than the old. Alas wages can be higher than what will realistically grow employment. Is this economic insanity? Architects and designers wanted commissions and recognition. They got it.

The Brookwood Cemetery was opened in November 1854, and was the largest in the world. It was originally called the London Necropolis or Woking Cemetery. Although it lies outside the London area, it was the place of burial for thousands of Londoners. The cemetery is still privately owned and trades as Brookwood Cemetery Limited. The records are kept at the cemetery and there is a charge for them to be searched, but microfilm copies are available via the Family History Library and the Surrey History Centre, where the Friends of Surrey Cemeteries have been indexing them. In addition The Brookwood Cemetery Society is a voluntary organisation devoted to the cemetery. Fire insurance records are held at London Metropolitan Archives and with a searchable index in their catalogue for Sun Fire Office 1782 to 1842. One can search by names of people, institutions, streets, place names and occupations. The index covers the registers of the Sun's London office, which cover mainly London properties. For this reason, street names only are given for most of the entries and London can be assumed where no county is given. A few country properties are also included. 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.” The biggest figure amongst Holywell Street’s publishers was William Dugdale – a forger, radical, plagiarist, pornographer and general shady character of the Victorian underworld. Henry Ashbee, the obsessive collector of erotica and works and also suspected to be Walter in My Secret Life – a sprawling secret sexual memoir of a Victorian gentleman, described Dugdale as “one of the most prolific publishers of filthy books”.Rolls Chapel rebuilt 1617, attributed, but without evidence, to Inigo Jones.

Despite there being nothing immediately funny about the night’s chaotic proceedings, upon further reflection and after the story “gnawed at” him, Harrelson turned one of the worst nights of his life into a compelling script.
