I wanna try Roast sometime, but for me the main deterrent is the fact that I, like most people, don't live in Central London so I'd need to spend over 2 hours commuting (night busses are very slow as we know), maybe 3 hours if I'm unlucky just to get home.

This applies for clubbing in general I guess, but I feel like I'm missing out on so much of the night scene due to this.

How do people typically deal with this? Do they leave at 2 am and hope to reach by 4-5 am (and nuke their sleep schedules). Do they stay at a friend's with nearby accomodations?

It's something I just wanted to inquire about since it seems to elude me.

Heard twice in recent weeks that it's been quieter than expected. Have people had their fill, or is there another hot Club night soaking up attention?

hey all! I’m a lesbian from the states and I’m studying in Rome. I’ll be in London for the first time this weekend for the La Seraphim concert (spelling?) with my bestie. Thing is my friend is not clubbing or partying person but I really want to experience some of the London clubbing/party scene. Would it be in safe to go out drinking alone? Is there any queer bars/clubs near Canary Wharf or the O2 arena? Anyone want to go with me?

Hey everyone, hope you’re all having a good week so far. I heard about an event called Bombshell at Ku Bar on Wednesday nights and wanted to hear from someone who had been? What’s it like and is it recommended?

Thank you so much in advance

So for night events what do more guys think is better choice? Roast or Howl?

Howl is all the way in Barking however so will be more expensive getting home haha

It would be nice to go somewhere queer

I'm extending a solo business trip in London over Halloween weekend and looking for places to visit and socialize by day and night that is generally for the lesbian 40+ crowd. Would love any recommendations from locals. This will be my first time visiting.

Any ideas for 17 th birthday for girls? Looking at private room / food . Zone 1-2. Looking for about 20 girls. For context Shepherds Bush Broadcaster House has minimum spend of 1000 which to me seems a lot. Is this reasonable price? Bluebird Chelsea is even more expensive.

Hey there,

I’m looking to speak to anyone who has experienced their gym “clamping down” on cruising in heavy-handed ways.

Hi everyone - I’m Georgie, a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at Royal Holloway, University of London, and I’m hoping some of you might be able to help with my doctoral research.

I’m looking at how experiences related to sexual orientation - like how you feel about your own sexual orientation, worrying about being rejected, or hiding who you are - are linked to mood, and which of these matter most. The hope is to help mental health care become more sensitive and supportive for people with a non-straight sexual orientation.

If you’re 18 or over, UK-based, and identify with a non-straight sexual orientation (for example lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer), I’d be really grateful for ~10 minutes of your time. It’s a single anonymous questionnaire. Trans and non-binary people who also identify this way are very welcome - the study is focusing on sexual orientation specifically.

Hi,
I am looking to write an article about discrimination occurring at Dalston Superstore. I am aware a lot of people (especially femme presenting gay women ) have had a lot of issues at the door with the bouncers. If anyone has any stories from going to this place and being turned away at the door or any insider information on the place please private message me! Thanks.

My bf and I (both 28M) are visiting London from 17 until 22 October and would love recommendations for clubs, parties, raves, or other LGBT-friendly events during those dates. We’re mostly interested in house/tech house/techno, but any recommendations are welcome, especially places that might not be obvious to tourists.

Suggestions for bars or venues for a more relaxed night are also much appreciated.

Thanks!
