I have the London itch! It has been my dream to visit since I was a kid. I was even given a framed picture of the Tower of London when I graduated from HIgh School. I swore I would be there one day! Anyway, random ramble. What I am getting at is.... Im jealous!!!!! lol Have Fun Mel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve it :-)

For anyone who wants to come next Saturday, the following is the itinerary:

Harvey Nics Wine Bar (5th floor) from circa 1.30pm / 2.00pm but feel free to arrive anytime until around 4pm as will make sure we are still there by then. This is easy walking distance from Knightsbridge or Regents Park underground stations.

Inamo, Regents Street, 6pm. Note that, if you plan to attend the meal, please let me know by middle of week as I will need to confirm booking with the restaurant. The restaurant is very convenient to travel to from Harvey Nics - it is a short tube ride with no change required.


Later - likely onwards to a bar or club on Soho. Let's play it by ear. PM me for my phone no if you want to be kept in touch on this aspect.

Living. In surrey here, near guildford
Not a lot of gay scene here, not that its my scene anyway
Loves to go mountain biking more than anything.

There is only one way to combat that jealously and it's pretty straightforward - make the trip over yourself :)

You may be on to something! I absolutely agree!

One day i plan to return!!! :)

There has been no activity on this thread for a while, but hopefully this will give it a *bump*! I am happy to be in the UK; just south of London, to be exact! I am American but lived here off and on for the past 7 years. Just returned from a visit to my family in Nevada and so happy to see that there are many members from the UK. I am also a newbie and still breaking myself in, but thrilled to see there are others that think like me in my neighborhood. Just wish I had found this site sooner!

Anyway, hello one and all! I am so happy to be in your fabulous country tonight <3

Welcome to the thread LadyBug !

I've been to Nevada twice - unsurprisingly, it was to Las Vegas back in 2006 and 2009. Coincidently, both times it was for butch-femme events with many people from this site also in attendance.

Ciaran, are you in London these days? Tried to text you some time ago... Would be good to catch up :)

Hello, Ciaran! Thank you for the welcome. I am settled back in the UK now, very near Gatwick Airport if you know where that is, not far from London. I am from more Northern Nevada, but have also been to Las Vegas...funny enough both times for concerts! Really into music, haha. Come to London for lots of gigs as well. Happy to have found some friendly "neighbours" here!

Hi Sky. Sorry, had not logged into this site for some time so didn't see your post.

Yes, would be great to catch up soon :)

I was in Belfast for a week over Christmas but arrived back into London today.

Yes, I know Gatwick Airport as I travel out of it fairly regularly. Convenient location as presumably easy to get to Brighton from where you live in addition to London.

We organise occasional (i.e. not as regularly as we should) meet-ups in London and goes without saying that you would be made very welcome to attend.

well this is my kind of meet.
good venues Ciaran
sorry I misssed it, not logged in for the longest while.
happy new year, london BFs

Hi London!
There's a great film festival happening August 21-23, 2015 at the Cinema Museum in London. It kicks off at the British Film Institute on August 20, 2015.
Here's the info: http://woteverfilmfest.weebly.com/bf...ning-2008.html

I'm especially excited because I will be there! Three of my films will be showing, small parts of an amazingly broad program. Yay for butches and femme on film!

And don't miss the Female Masculinity Appreciation opening night party.
