Soho is the supposed heart of gay London. But, thanks to its oh-so-convenient super-central location, you’ll find the dance floors are more intimate than sprawling. Not to fear, though. A leisurely 15-minute stroll lands you at Embankment on River Thames—blessed with the spacious delights of Circa Embankment and Gen Z popular dance club at Heaven.
Or, if you’re up for a later and naughtier night out, hop on a taxi to Fire or UNION Club right by Vauxhall Station. You’ll find party boys, go-go dancers, and live DJs that don’t stop until 10 am. Also, keep your eyes out for cruisy corners.
Most London gay clubs usually get busy when the bars close, around midnight – 2 am on weekends.
Soho really spoils you with plenty of gay bars on Old Compton Street. There’s Village Soho, Freedom, Ku Bar—where you can hang out and dance until 3 am. Plus, you can walk to Heaven or Circa Embankment from Soho.
If you’re ready to graduate to the big leagues of London’s gay party scene, get on a taxi to Feel It on Fridays near London Bridge Station and Fire on Saturdays in Vauxhall Station. If you’re looking for gay clubs with darkrooms, cruising, and other popular events, here’s the link.
Heaven occasionally headlines gigs from top gay-popular artists like Miley Cyrus, Little Mix, and Courtney Act, a premium gay club with drag shows and one of the most famous gay clubs in Europe. Feel It has the hottest crowd with great lighting and live DJs until 5 am near London Bridge Station. Fire for go-go dancers, top knot lighting, and live DJs that don’t stop until 10 am the next day.
If you want London’s dark side, go to the event page, here’s the link.

Welcome to the Friday night extravaganza at Feel It at Omeara, where the queer club vibes are cranked up with a saucy fetish twist. Imagine a sea of perfectly sculpted, tanned bodies, shimmering under club lights—like a sweaty, glamorous parade tailor-made for your next Instagram story. Seriously, everyone looks like they’ve walked off a runway or out of a very ambitious gym advertisement.
Hosted in the trendy heart of London Bridge, Feel It doesn’t just whisper HOT; it screams it. £15 entry and you can bask in this beautiful, glittering chaos until 5 AM, but remember, the magic portal closes at 3 AM—so don’t be fashionably late, be fashionably on-time!
Feel It pulled out the big guns with Charli XCX and everyone’s favorite, JADE, gracing the stage. Clearly, this is the spot to skip on a Friday night—if you’re into missing out on all the epic fun.
Facilities: Drag Show, Go-go show, Dancing, Bar, Live music, Music, Coat check / secure storage
Fire famously crowned as London’s premier gay bash, runs from on Saturday’s 11 PM to 10 AM the next day. It’s the ultimate London gay club for Saturday night owls whose party stamina outlasts every other club’s closing time.
Brace yourself for top-tier shows, blinding lights, DJs who actually know what they’re doing, and go-go dancers who’ll make you feel like you’re conserving energy just by watching them. The real party animals saunter in between 6 and 7 AM because who arrives on time anyway?
Tickets? A mere £10-25, but guess what? It’s free before 1 AM—because nothing screams VIP like not paying at all. On normal weekends, you can pick up tickets at the door, but if you’re planning on a Bank Holiday weekend or for a special party, get those tickets early!
Fire London used to be famous for dark rooms but in 2024 they closed the dark rooms in this venue.
Facilities: Drag Show, Go-go show, Dancing, Bar, Live music, ID Required Aged 18+, Coat check / secure storage
Heaven is G-A-Y Bar’s premium late-night venue and one of the most famous gay clubs in Europe.

Get a £1 entry wristband from G-A-Y Bar on Old Compton Street before heading down.

UNION Club is one of London’s late-night dance clubs in the vibrant heart of Vauxhall. UNION Club offers an electrifying nightlife experience, with special zones for everyone from pumped-up boys to beefy cubs and the rest. Dance, lounge, a cruisy cave, or step outside to our smoking areas.

Hold onto your party hats, boys! THROUGH is cranking up the volume with their famously “inclusive” parties with dance floors and darkroom, where every Tom, Dick, and Harry is welcome — a true mixed gay crowd. The party is mostly held at the UNION CLUB in Vauxhall.
Ticket pricing is a thrilling game of financial roulette: buy early online for cheaper deals, or throw down £30 at the door like you just don’t care. But be warned, Cinderellas: they are strict over last entry, times depend on the venue, so don’t be late to this ball!
Facilities: Go-go show, Dancing, Dark Room, Cruise, Bar, Live music
A relatively new addition to the London gay scene, this club has a fantastic central location right next to Embankment, about a 15-minute walk from Soho. Large space, great resident DJs, friendly staff and hot go-go boys – this place has it all. Mostly House music, £10 entry.
Facilities: Bar, Live music, Dancing, Go-go show, Music, Coat check / secure storage
BJ’s White Swan fills a much-needed niche for a fun, unpretentious gay club in the East End of London. The location in Limehouse is a little out of the way, but you can combine it with The Old Ship nearby for a relaxed night out – be warned, many people claim that it’s become much more of a straight bar in the past few years. Weekly comedy, cabaret, drag, dancing, amateur strip shows, karaoke, plus DJs on the weekends (£5 entry after 10:30).
Facilities: Drag Show, Go-go show, Dancing, Karaoke, Bar, Live music, Cabaret show, Music
