Gay London
In a city as big as London, it’s no surprise that the variety of queer venues is almost unparalleled. With so many events and great bars and clubs, queer people from across the country come here to live their best gay lives! Unlike the smaller cities in the UK, London’s gay scene isn’t specific to one area. Soho, Vauxhall, and the East End are the main queer hubs in the city, each with their own vibe, so no matter where you’re staying or what you like, you’re guaranteed to find somewhere to have fun.
​
London is such a diverse city with gay life found in many different areas, so it is worth working out where the best hotel location is for your trip. Do you want to be near the nightlife in Soho, towards the East of London where some of the more edgier bars are or maybe in the hip and slightly quieter Bankside area on the river, with good transport connections to most of the city. Wherever you choose to stay, perhaps treat yourself to a luxury hotel or stay budget and spend what you save on partying!
