PUBS

I understand you’re eager to dive into the more adventurous spots, but it's essential to ease into the experience! Before heading to those places, don’t miss the chance to explore a few bars and pubs around London.

Soho remains the vibrant centre of the gay community, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. While there has been talk about Vauxhall and Shoreditch gaining popularity, the heart of the community still beats strongly in the city’s core.

Despite the closing of some pubs, there are still plenty of options for a great pub crawl, allowing you to discover what the area has to offer.

This pub has seen it all, and it is only polite to visit and say hello. More of a pub than a trendy bar, it has a relaxed atmosphere with the promise of fun.

Old Compton Street

The Admiral Duncan

Another old-time pub but a twist of drag. Attacked by hate in 1999 but shining out in love. A pint in here is a requirement.

This English boozer is a proper pub, but better because it is full of gays! Split over two levels and with all the fun of a spiral stairway!

Rupert Street Bar

As the night gets later, this bar is ideal for getting in the mood for a big night. The music gets louder and the bar staff get hotter.
