The Cock Tavern
340 Kennington Road, London, SE11 4LD | Open Thursday to Sunday (differing hours)
Not specifically trans, but definitely trans-friendly, The Cock Tavern is an open, and inclusive spot where “a party-loving pansexual posse cavorts amid the totem poles to a mix of kinky beats, trash pop and loony tunes” (SquareMeal.com).
The Royal Vauxhall Tavern
372 Kennington Ln, London SE11 5HY | Open every day from 7pm, until as late as 4am Fridays and Saturdays
When it comes to legendary LGBTQ+ venues, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern stands out, resilient and iconic. This establishment, dating back to 1863, has not only weathered the storm of property developers but has also secured a Grade II listing and 'Asset of Community Value' status, thanks in part to the unwavering support of the RVT Future campaign.
It's not trans specific, but stands as a beacon of the LGBTQ+ community. What makes the Royal Vauxhall Tavern truly special is its ability to seamlessly blend rich history, where legends like Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury have left their mark, with cutting-edge queer club nights like Duckie and Bar Wotever, run by London's very own 'Night Czar,' Amy Lamé. Whether you're in the mood for a fabulous drag show, a night of fetish fun, or the pop-tastic 'Push the Button,' the RVT has it all.
Horse Meat Disco
The Eagle, 349 Kennington Ln, London SE11 5QY | Every Sunday | 8pm-4am
The four-strong DJ collective of Luke Howard, Severino Panzetta, James Hillard and Jim Stanton at The Eagle in Vauxhall.
Two Brewers
114 Clapham High Street, London, SW4 7UJ | Hours vary
Two Brewers may not be the hippest LGBTQ+ venue in London, but it's undeniably one of the most beloved. This iconic spot opens its doors seven days a week, offering a vibrant cabaret experience on weekdays and transforming into a high-octane club haven on Friday and Saturday nights. Get ready to groove to pop bangers that would make Max Martin proud, all while being treated to sensational drag shows that will leave you in stitches. Be prepared to join the queue, but rest assured, the fun is more than worth the wait. Whether it's a bustling drag extravaganza or a night of singing along to your favorite tunes, Two Brewers delivers non-stop entertainment every single day.
