City of Quebec
Gorgeous gay boozer in the heart of London’s shopping district! You can cruise down Bond Street, slide into Selfridges for a gorgey Chanel shirt, and then mince into the Quebec for a salubrious sambucca or post-work pint. They’ve got lovely dusky booths to sit and relax in, or catty cabaret if you’re feeling camp.

Queen Adelaide
The Queen Adelaide is the naughty, wild-haired little lovechild of one of East London’s best-loved establishments, the now closed George & Dragon. But all is not lost! The Adelaide totes has George & Dragon vibes, and if you look closely you’ll see some of the George’s trademark trinkets lying around the place. It’s charmingly rustic, sawdust-on-the-floor vibes. They’ve got a lovely barmaid who wears a beret and look like Drew Barrymore. Always a winner. Open ‘til 3am Fridays and Saturdays.
