London, affectionately known as GAY London in the UK, is celebrated for its lively and diverse gay scene. With an impressive selection of gay clubs in London, the city offers a perfect spot for everyone, making it a dynamic hub for the Queer community.
Calling Berlin our home, we are a bit overindulged for choice and find that there is no place in the planet quite as liberal as Berlin clubs and Berlin parties, which led to our initial disappointment when traversing the London gay nightlife scene while living there, but gradually we have started to find out that London can be a similar scene for queer clubbing in London.
Spoiler alert: Although we also love the Soho scene, none of these places are in Soho or on Vintage Compton Street 🙉 (we still desire you Ku Bar). While Soho is arguably the center of gay animation in London, we find most venues to be more of a lock vibe than a club vibe. While Soho is agreeable for a swallow, the parties below are where the true Londoners would go when they really want to let loose.
You also won't find G-A-Y or Heaven here, as we are no longer that young crowd anymore 🤣.
So, let's travel the best homosexual nightlife and clubs that London has to offer!

Sink a cocktail in one of London's finest LGBTQ+ bars and pubs and you'll be drinking in more than just some watered down booze: these spots are LGBTQ+ landmarks in their own right, places where you can find group, kinship, and drag-fuelled mayhem. Beats billiards in your local.
Once upon a moment, having a queer old time in London meant hotfooting it straight to Soho. But now, the city's queer centre of gravity has shifted east, with edgier spots pulling crowds to Dalston when night falls, while some of the city's most storied LGBTQ+ venues have taken up residence in Vauxhall. So whether you're after a kingly brunch, a burlesque show or just a quiet pint, here's a comprehensive list of the capital's gay and queer-friendly bars and pubs, from the mythical G-A-Y to lesbian-centric She Soho to sing-yer-heart-out special The Karaoke Hole.
RECOMMENDED: Hold the party going at London's best LGBTQ+ clubs.

A list of Manchester Gay Village clubs wouldn't be complete without giving On Bar a mention. Not only is it the home of killer performances across bottomless brunches and other boozy happenings from Bougie Performative & Boy Toy Events, but this place sure knows how to pitch a party too.
