At the time, gay meant happy and cheerful.

NEW ITALIAN RTRANT THE HEART OF GAY SOHO

Gay Hsar was closed 2018. A new Italian rtrant wh a retro New York theme clarg self “proudly gay-owned” opened the heart of Soho’s ‘gay village’ this week, cidg wh the annual LGBTQ+ Pri celebratns. He said, “Dpe their close proximy, they’re very much their own rtrants wh their own personali – 40 is the olr gay brother who’s been around for a while and knows where the party’s at, while 64 is the ol lbian sister who’s new on the scene but tends to make her prence felt.

Its unique style, smopolan populatn, unbridled artistic culture, and gay neighborhoods like Vxhall, Dalston and Soho make London a worldwi gay pal. Vxhall is more eccentric and unrground, while the more ncentrated London gay scene n be found Soho.

The English aren’t exactly known for their culary skills, but Balans Soho Society (60 Old Compton Street) is a gay rtrant that satisfi everyone wh an ternatnal menu. Most gay bars and clubs london are open every day of the week, and there is ually some event or theme each night. Loted jt behd Trafalgar Square, this inic club almost exclively attracts a gay crowd, and offers an atmosphere that is always alive!

In terms of the bt gay snas London, you should make a bee-le for south London burrough, Vxhall. Of urse, beg an LGBT pal means that gay London has many eateri which – though not exclively gay – are very homo-iendly.
