The young, the restless and the G-A-Y

The enduringly popular G-A-Y remains one of London's defining gay institutions, especially among the under-25s. Started in 1976, the dance-and-cruise club spent most of its iconic years in Charing Cross Rd, in various sections of the London Astoria (a former cinema).

Absolutely amazing place which I swear by! I had my leaving do, coming out party and various others other things here and I have not been disappointed once. Seriously the best GAY bar/club I have ever been! God! It even has a bashment night! The bad stuff : there have been some serious issues I have had is before entry. Interesting comments "I don't look Gay enough" and clear discrimination of the "race" of those let in by those in charge of entry. This is a serious flaw. However once you get in its unbeatable. Just make sure to have a plan B.

Bad door staff

Door staff must learn to respect the customers who are paying their wages.
