Gay and Lesbian Pubs and Bars in London

Soho is renowned as the heart of London's gay nightlife, and it's true you'll be spoilt for choice there with its buzzing bars and year-long carnival atmosphere. But don't overlook areas further afield with their up and coming gay scenes.

Opening Hours

Generally pubs and bars are open Monday to Saturday, 11am-11pm and close half an hour earlier on Sunday and religious bank holidays (Good Friday, Christmas Day and Easter Monday). A few have late licences allowing them to stay open later on Fridays and Saturdays, sometimes also weekdays.
