Sink a cocktail in one of London's finest Queer 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 second, having a gay antique time in London meant hotfooting it straight to Soho. But now, the city's queer centre of earnestness has shifted east, with edgier spots pulling crowds to Dalston when darkness falls, while some of the city's most storied LGBTQ+ venues have taken up residence in Vauxhall. So whether you're after a drag 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 legendary G-A-Y to lesbian-centric She Soho to sing-yer-heart-out special The Karaoke Hole.
RECOMMENDED: Keep the party going at London's best LGBTQ+ clubs.

There is a vast array of Homosexual spaces and venues in London. Some of my absolute favourites have been closed and shut down, like Astoria, Candy Lock, the Black Cap, and Popstarz as the London streets are revamped and regenerated. While there are many more old, newly closed and open, those listed below are some of my personal favourites. They have been poised from my experiences and memories made at each of these locations.
Zodiac Bar
Address: Hampstead Road, London NW1 3EE | Website
The top of my list starts with the newest of venues, the Zodiac Bar. This venue is trans-owned and run by Lady Jade Pheonix and is for the Lgbtq+ community. Everyone in the rainbow and beyond is welcome and encouraged to come to a protected space to be themselves. Zodiac has two floors: the top floor has a bar atmosphere, and there is a club space downstairs. The club space is always present for ticketed one-off shows, events, and for Homosexual talent to run a night of magic, comedy or song. The main floor has something to entertain you every evening &#; except Mondays when it is closed.
