Venues — London

Our Opinion

London, it's the capital, what else can we say !

Profile

Whether you plan to eat and drink, see a show, event or shop till you drop, days and nights out on London town will offer you an experience of a lifetime.

Whatever kind of music you like to dance the night away to, you are sure to find a club to suit your tastes in London. From mellow jazz in lively restaurants to major rock acts in huge stadiums, London is alive to the sound of music.

Spend a lazy day floating down the Thames on a scenic boat trip, or enjoy a picnic in a local beauty spot. While away a sunny afternoon drinking in an atmospheric pub or dine alfresco in an exclusive restaurant. Escape the fast pace of city life in one of the capital's beautiful parks or wildlife reserves.

Gay Scene

The gay scene in London is as entertainingly diverse, progressive and fast moving as its gay population.

Dining out, If you're looking to wine and dine your partner in style or Schmooze with the A-list over dinner, sample Twentyfour, The Ivy or Balans to name a few.

Clubbing, While London favourites like G-A-Y, Heaven, Popstarz and DTPM continue to pack them in week after week and month after month, the fickle scene itself sees tens of other clubs and bars and one-off club nights, come and go. To avoid disappointment and to ensure that your outfit won't be wasted, either call ahead to make sure that club events are still running, or better still, check with one of London's free gay papers like Boyz or QX to see what's on, when it's happening and who you can expect to be rubbing shoulders with.

Shopping, With over 30,000 stores, from high-end, high-priced labels by the likes of naughty upstart Alexander McQueen, Gucci and Stella McCartney, to vintage fashions purchased for just a few pounds from a market stall, you'll be leaving London looking damn good - and with a lighter wallet.
