London Soho: Drag Queen Disco Diva Silent Walking Tour

Summary

Soho’s wild side with disco beats, drag queens, and scandalous tales

You’ll laugh your way through Soho & Fitzrovia with a drag queen guide leading your silent disco adventure. Expect wild stories about pop icons, spontaneous dance breaks, and plenty of moments where you forget anyone else exists. Headphones are included so you can hear every beat — just bring your best energy (and maybe an umbrella).

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to be strutting through Soho with a headset on, belting out “Like a Virgin” while following Ms Christina Draguleira — but honestly, it was the most alive I’ve felt in ages. The first thing that hit me wasn’t the music (although Madonna in my ears is never subtle), but the way people looked at us: half amused, half wishing they’d joined. Our group was a mix — birthday girls in boas, two guys who couldn’t stop laughing, me just trying not to trip over a curb while doing my best Tina Turner impression. It was drizzly, classic London, but nobody cared.

Ms Christina knew every scandalous corner of Fitzrovia and Soho — she’d pause us in front of some nondescript doorway and suddenly there’d be this story about Elton John or Cher that made us all snort-laugh into our headsets. At one point she pointed at a kebab shop and said something about Cher and dodgy takeaway… I’ll never eat doner again without thinking of that. The music switched from Spice Girls to Kylie so fast I barely kept up. There was this moment when we all tried to do the same dance move and failed spectacularly — even Ms Christina lost it for a second. That felt good, you know?

The silent disco part is weird at first — you’re in your own world but also totally together. Sometimes I caught someone’s eye on the street and they’d smile or roll their eyes (fair enough). The rain made everything shiny; lights reflected off puddles and sequins. When we stopped outside some old pub for another story, I could smell fried onions drifting out into the damp air. We must’ve looked ridiculous but nobody seemed to mind.

I still think about that last song — “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” blasting as we danced right past some confused tourists taking photos of the Royal Observatory Greenwich sign. Not sure if they got what was happening but maybe that’s part of the fun. If you’re up for letting go (and don’t mind singing badly in public), this day trip through Soho with a drag queen guide is honestly one for the memory bank.
