Gay Travel Guide to London

London is a cultural, shopping, theater capital of Europe! Trafalgar Square. Harrod’s. Buckingham Palace. Tower of London. Museums. Cathedrals. And the list goes on. London is the easiest destination in Europe for U.S. travelers with very frequent non-stop flights from many gateways in the States and of course English as their official language. Make London your weekend shopping and theater escape or take a week or more to truly explore the many hidden treasures that are all over the city.

Lesbian and gay London is not just a small area like some cities, it is the entire destination. Great Britain is very gay friendly and the lesbian or gay traveler to gay London can be comfortable much like they are back home – but don’t be so relaxed you don’t travel smart! The West End Theater district is sure to please. Also, gay London begins and ends in Soho – so add that area to your list of places to visit. Old Compton Street is a sure please where you will find local and visiting gays strolling at night and day enjoying the area bars, restaurants and cafes.

Although travel to London is much less expensive in the winter, the weather is not very suitable for any level of outdoor adventure. If you have the extra cash, travel to London in the summer for the best weather where you can truly experience the city and all it has to offer – without shivering! London has plenty of parks, recreation, outdoor events and fantastic outdoor markets – try Camden or Portobello Road Markets. But, in the winter, a long weekend trip with shopping by day and theatre and clubbing by night is sure to make any of us truly satisfied!
