#194 - The Gay Panic (Kensington, London, UK)

#194 - The Gay Panic (Kensington, London, UK)

1962, the basement flat at 17 Pembroke Court in West Kensington was owned by George Brinham; a respected trade unionist and chairman of the Labour Party, who was hailed as a Prime Minister in the making. And yet, there is no blue plaque to George Brinham. Some might say this was down to his political affiliations, others might imply it was owing to his love life, but maybe it’s simply down to a scandal which on Saturday 17th November 1962, led to his murder.


But why was George Brinham killed, and did a quirk of the law let his murderer go free?
