The Hoist

Established in 1996 and still going strong, the Hoist is located under railway arches like many of Vauxhall's other gay clubs, but is more dark, atmospheric and considerate of extreme tastes, from serious leather, rubber and skinhead to light leather and dirty textiles. More recently Wednesday evening and weekend afternoon naked-only sessions have crept onto the menu. Hosts monthly SM Gays evenings (Thursday), plus buzzy semi-regular ruber-and-leather RUT events and occasional BLUF parties.
