Discover the lives of Croydon lesbians and gay men as Croydon Celebrates LGBT History

LGBT stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans. The LGBT History trail through the Museum of Croydon highlights the LGBT presence in, and contribution to, Croydon's history.

Our trail begins with scientist Henry Havelock Ellis' studies of sexuality in 1896 and continues up to today. Not all of the objects and stories you will discover are about sexuality or gender. As well as representing Croydon's LGBT community, the Museum of Croydon seeks to include LGBT stories in the mainstream of our shared history. To follow the trail, download the leaflet below.

Museum of Croydon LGBT History Trail

The Museum of Croydon aims to reflect the lives of all communities in Croydon. We are aware that we currently under-represent Croydon's historic and contemporary Bisexual and Trans communities. If you would be interested in sharing your life story with us to help address this, please Contact Us.
