Circa Embankment
One of the city's most exclusive LGBTQ+ venues, this lushly decorated Central London spot is forever spinning the very best in pop, R&B, Hip Hop and House classics for your dancing pleasure.
Village, Soho
A deceptive exterior, The Village, Soho is much more than the pub it appears as on the outside and is an iconic bar and club. People watch and relax with friends from the outdoor pavement seating, before choosing between one of the three floors inside. There is a shiny lounge area, decadent boudoir bar, or the pumping dance floor with chart toppers blaring. They host happy hours every night and with performances from drag DJs and Go Go boys the weekends are exciting to say the least.
