If I could find a working one of these, I would be over to visit immediately!

We will be in UK for the month of June. Can't wait. I haven't been home in over 10 years.

A few of my friends and I are organising a butch / femme / trans / genderqueer and allies meet on Saturday 19th May. To facilitate some folk travelling from outside of London, we'll be meeting as from noon-ish ... likely a few drinks, followed by a meal somewhere and then some more drinks until late for those who are still around.


Will be a small-ish gathering of good, friendly people. If anyone may be interested in coming along, let me know and I'll provide the details etc.

Hi Ciaran, I'd love to join!

Of course Sky, you would be more than welcome. I'm trying to confirm times / venues etc over the next week and will post here when I have these.

Would be great to see you there.

OMG, I can't wait!! *jumps up and down* :cheer:

Great Sky !

I'll post the details here tomorrow (am on mobile device at moment).

Latest itinerary is as follows:

- 12pm / 12.30pm to mid-afternoon: Ku Bar, Lisle Street.

- Mid-afternoon: food somewhere (fear it will be somewhere in Chinatown, which I'm not a particular fan of but others are).

- Freedom bar: we should have some folk here from 7pm or so. I'll be there from 8pm at the latest.

- Later: we will go to a club. Current thinking is possibly the Way Out Club. This wouldn't necessarily be everyone's "cup of tea" but it's actually good fun, open late and a very friendly environment.



I'll be at the meet from the start until 3pm or a bit later and back again for around 7.30pm / 8.00pm (in between times, I'm away to Twickenham to watch the rugby European Cup Final. Not a rugby fan but my home province of Ulster is in the final and I cannot miss the opportunity to attend this with some of my friends from back home).


Note that, as highlighted above, the Ku Bar that we will be meeting in is the one in Lisle Street. This is useful to note as there are two Ku Bars that are both within walking distance of each other. It's very each to get to ..... come of of Leicester Square underground station, taking the Chinatown exit and it's within 50 metres or so.


If you have any worries or concerns, let me know and Im happy to meet you outside of any of the venues and introduce you to folk !!

Thanks Ciaran!

I will join you at 7 at the Freedom bar. Hope I'll be able to find the group (I don't know what anyone looks like apart from you, but you'll arrive later :) )

I'm not sure yet if I will make it to Ku bar before that, but will try and see...
Are there going to be many people who won't stay until Freedom bar? The more new people I meet the better :)

I will send you a PM with my number

Hi Sky

Yes, there will be some people who'll be at Ku Bar who won't be there later - some people are travelling from outside of London and will be leaving to return home in the evening.

However, most people should be there at Freedom Bar at least for an hour or two and some of us will be there for longer !

I will be there by 8pm but will try to get there earlier. I'll let others know you're coming so you'll be guaranteed a friendly welcome.

Where to go??
 

We are to Swedish femmes that are going to London first weekend in july. Thankful for any kind of tips of were to go to have a good time. I haven´t been to London for over 20 years and never done the gayscene and my friend have never been there.

So please help us find the right kind of....
:party:

I'm assuming you are aware but, in case not, the first weekend of July in London is World Pride so there'll be a significant amount of LBGT energy in London then.

Hey :) I'm looking to explore the London lesbian scene a bit more than i already do (which i kind of don't :blush:) and was wondering if any Londoners could be of any help?? any advice, info etc would be very much appreciated :D

Hi Twinkletoes and welcome to the site.

Sort of depends on what you are interested in. If it's mainstream lesbian scene that you are trying to find out more on, then the following magazine is a pretty good start. It's free of charge and can be accessed online or, in paper copy from many LGBT bars in the city:

If you have any more specific queries, then more than happy to answer them (if I can).

Thanks very much for the link :) will make sure i have a looksie today

I want another meet!! *pouts*

Leeds here but used live in London...so...yaah!!!! :)

Come on Londoners! U.Kers! I know there are more of you out there!

*peeks into thread*

hellooooo :)

Hello back and welcome to the Planet!!! :)

*waves* I don't live in London now, but I used to and I miss it!

thank you!
I will have a look around...

Where is Ciaran? We need another meet! :)

I can organise a meet with relative ease if a few people here commit to come along ..... and I can get a few others who aren't members of this site to come along too.


Have organised one or two very informal gatherings over recent months and feedback has been positive. If organising a further one, I would look to one of the weekends following London Pride i.e. would be looking at early to mid July.


If people are interested, let me know and I'll come up with one or two suggestions for a good day out.

Does Hertfordshire count? I'm here.

This weekend there is a Butch-Femme party in London!!!! Hooray!!! :)
Sorry, I wanted to start a new thread about this but can't as my post count is too low :(

It is based on the old famous lesbian club called The Gateways. The party is called "Duckie goes to the Gateways". Here is the link: http://duckie.co.uk/generic.php?id=156

I'm going with my gf on both days. Is anyone going too?

If not, let's try to organise a meet another day. I'm trying to get some people together :)

I'm sooooo excited *dances around* :hk13:

I heard all about this from a lovely lady who will be attending The Gateway on Friday. I'm really rather envious that I can't get down there this weekend. Maybe it will become a regular event...that would be cool!

I must re-watch The Killing of Sister George...a classic '68 film in which The Gateways appears.

I'm coming down to the big smoke in the foreseeable future and so looking forward to catching up with the galleries and museums...it's been an age since I visited. I'm desperate to photograph the skaters on the South Bank again before it disappears...unless the current petition works! .

Is anyone going too?
Maybe if anyone here is going- I'm wearing a pink 50's dress on Friday and a short yellow 60's dress on Saturday. Come and say hi! :) :)

Daktari, I must watch this film too! (I've never seen it to my shame). If you're coming to London, do you wanna meet some b-f folks here? I'm trying to get some people together :)

Ciaran, are you hereeeee? :callme: Are you going to Duckie? :)

I am not going on Friday. By coincidence, I am going to a 1950's themed party that evening but not at Duckie.


I might be there on Saturday but not certain yet. Depends on a few variables at this stage. The good news is that, if I do make it, we won't have a wardrobe clash as I am NOT planning to wear a short 1960's yellow dress :praying:

Ciaran, lol I can't even imagine this :lol2:
It would be good to see you though if you can make it! x

Okay - time for a get together and also to give sufficient notice.

Let's aim for Friday 23rd / Saturday 24th August. Bank Holiday weekend and some of us will have pre-planned events on the Sunday.

Haven't worked out what we'll doing on the Friday and Saturday yet, of course, but if enough interest, would be great to arrange an outing to a west-end musical.

Anyway, let's keep above date as tentative right now and let's work to make it happen !!

Did somebody say "West End Musical"?

If this pans out, and all works out on my end, I would take the hop if invited.

I'm new here - I would totally attend this! let's do it :)

New or less new, all are welcome :)

I'll start putting down some suggestions here when I can grab some spare time over this coming weekend.

There are a few b/f folk from outside London who are potentially interested in coming along also.


Let's get this arranged and then I can turn my attention to my wardrobe ..... for example, do I wear my pink chinos or my leopard-print cavalli jeans? ;)

*waves from north london* I had no idea there was a london thread. Or maybe I just forgot about it. My memory is as good as a gold fish these days!

Me, me, me! I'm in the South West! Hi! : )

Okay .... we're going to go ahead with Saturday 24th August for the meet. Just hope that the tropical weather we've been getting recently holds up.

We'll keep it fairly low-key. Am suggesting a picnic at Primrose Hill as from early afternoon followed by retiring to a bar for some drinks and socialising.

If you don't know it, Primrose Hill is a really nice part of London and relatively easy to get to.

Alas, my cooking skills on a scale of 1-10 are actually less than 1. However, I'll be bringing a selection of waitrose sandwiches, other deli foods and a combination of dry ciders and IPAs all to share.

If you can come or are considering it, please let me know on this thread or via PM. Remember, this will be an informal event for fun and laughter.


Whilst it's somewhat outside of my control, I'm hoping the tropical weather we've experienced recently stays reappears that weekend !!
