Programme of events at the LLG&C for September 1986
The London Lesbian and Gay Centre was a lesbian and gay community centre located at 67–69 Cowcross Street, London.[1] It was established in 1985 by the Greater London Council (GLC), which donated three-quarters of a million pounds to its establishment.[2][3]
In 1984 The GLC published Changing The World – a charter of gay rights and supported a number of open meetings in the council chamber of County Hall during that summer.[4] These resulted in the creation of a working group to create one of the few LGBT community centres in the UK, after Edinburgh Gay Centre which opened in 1974, Manchester Gay Centre on Bloom Street (1981)[5] and the Birmingham Lesbian and Gay Community Centre which had opened in 1976.[6] The group included Brian Kennedy, Revd Richard Kirker, Helen Carr, Helen Jenkins, Alison Wheeler, Jaci Quennell, Jennifer Wilson and Lisa Power amongst many others.[4]
