First Out

London’s original gay café-bar (established in 1986) is popular with a truly mixed crowd of men and women of all ages. The main floor is a vegetarian and vegan café with a relaxed community feel and it is usually packed. The basement bar shares the same vibe during the weekdays but hots up on a Friday night when Girl Friday sees it overrun with women. You can catch regular art exhibitions here by queer and queer-friendly artists as well as various ad hoc events.
