LGBTQ+ Club Guide: Best Queer Venues and Nights Out in London

When it comes to LGBTQ+ nightlife, a vibrant, inclusive ecosystem of bars, clubs, and underground spaces where queer people gather to celebrate identity, music, and connection. Also known as queer nightlife, it’s not just about dancing—it’s about belonging. London’s scene isn’t one big club. It’s dozens of tiny, loud, glitter-covered, no-rules zones where you can be exactly who you are without explaining yourself. From the last standing queer girls’ dance floor to experimental techno nights that blur gender and genre, this is where the real energy lives.

You don’t need a VIP list or a fancy outfit. You just need to show up. At Freedom Bar Soho, London’s last dedicated queer women’s and non-binary dance floor with no cover charge and zero judgment. Also known as the queer girls’ sanctuary, it’s where the music is loud, the drinks are cheap, and the vibe is pure freedom. Then there’s Electrowerkz, an industrial warehouse turned haven for genre-bending queer parties that mix techno, punk, and drag into one wild, unclassifiable night. Also known as the underground queer experiment, it’s where labels fall off and identities get redefined on the dance floor. These aren’t tourist traps. They’re living spaces built by the community, for the community. You’ll find people here who’ve been fighting for safe spaces since the ’80s—and they’re still dancing hard tonight.

Behind every great queer night out is a network of spots that make it possible: the bar before the club where you meet your crew, the late-night snack spot where chefs feed the crew after closing, the after-party where the real conversations happen. This guide pulls all of it together. You’ll find routes for bar crawls that actually work, clubs where the sound system doesn’t suck, and hidden venues where the crowd feels like family. No fluff. No fake hype. Just real places where queer people in London go to feel seen, heard, and free.

What you’ll find below isn’t a list of places to check off. It’s a map to nights that stick with you—where you dance until your feet hurt, laugh until your sides ache, and leave knowing you were exactly where you were meant to be.
