LONDON CALLING


 GAY LONDON CALLING!


Going to LONDON?  London is widely recognized as one of the gay capitals of the world. The city offers fabulous shopping, clubs and bars to suit all tastes, and cosmopolitan cuisine to make your mouth water. And don’t miss the fabulous EuroPride London parade and festival, which takes place every summer.

Wild London
Get close to wildlife at one of London’s nature reserves, aquariums or Butterfly Houses. Despite being in a city, you are not so far away from nature as you may think.

 




Restaurants – Sky high views, intimate dining rooms, original Picassos on the walls, Madonna at the next table or a traditional Caribbean snack when you’re on the go – whatever your palate, you’ll be catered for in London.

Even without a guidebook at their disposal, most gay visitors to London would soon find their way to the nearest gay bar. Call it gaydar if you must, but would those same visitors be as quick to locate the best venues for experimental gay theatre, or the nearest place for a night of camp comedy? Would they stumble across the gay-friendliest hotels and restaurants, and would they really make the most of all that gay London has to offer – or simply go on a gay pub crawl? Everyone I know that has ever went to London, loved it! Meet me at the red phone booth on the corner???
