INSI CHARTS, LONDON'S BIGGT GAY SNA

One former Charts Spa staff member wrote on Twter: “One of the most inic gay snas London I had the pleasure of workg wh sce September 2019 has unfortunately had to liquidate due to fance issu. “Snas such as Charts had provid a safe space for gay men pre-COVID for untls years. Fabulo gay sna London wh lots of actn suated next to Waterloo statn;) Remember to play safe!!!

After 5am too many LGBT bs aimed at Gay men. Charts is a gay sna that’s somehow stood firm and risted the velopers for nearly 20 years.

Amidst a vastatg year for gay venu London, alarm bells were set off June when was reported that the se might make way for a luxury hotel, but thankfully for s patrons, there’s been very ltle follow-up. ‘It was found 1997, ’ says staff member Lewis, ‘when fdg a fy, welg place to be openly gay or explore your sexualy was perhaps tougher than is now.

For the uniated, a gay sna is, as our listg onle stat: ‘like a leisure centre, but wh sex’ – a place where men cise and hook up. ‘That always ma me giggle – the last thg a gay du to a sna for is a mouthful of fish.

‘Some misnceptns are fuelled by homophobia’. Speakg of hair, you might image that wh that zty, naturel activy gog on, a gay sna would be ked lube and all manner of curly follicl. There are still a lot of gay or bisexual guys who aren’t out.

Sadly, I fear some misnceptns are fuelled by homophobia. If was a straight swgers’ club, might be seen as cheeky, racy, darg, but bee ’s a gay spot, ’s more likely to be nsired sleazy and gross. London gay sna Charts Waterloo is set to be molished after the lol uncil approved plans to turn the se to a new hotel.

The impendg moln of Charts Waterloo as risg rents and private velopment ntu to put the squeeze on London’s historic gay scene, and ls than a week after the closure of popular Soho drag and baret pub Molly Moggs.
