Tag: Lost LGBT Scene

Welcome to THEGAYUK’s Lost LGBT Scene project. Remembering and paying tribute to the gay bars and LGBT+ spaces that have closed. We’re looking for your contributions to make this an essential archive of the LGBT scene in the UK. If you have memories, photos or even stories of some of the venues listed please get in touch.

  • Lost LGBT Scene | Prohibition Cafe Bar, Streatham

    We’re creating an online memory board for some of London’s lost venues. Since the turn of the century, London’s gay scene has lost over 100 venues.

    We’d love for you to help us grow this historical archive of London’s lost gay scene. If you’ve got photos or memories of any of the venues you’d like to share please use the comment section below and we’ll add them right here.

    Prohibition Cafe Bar

    Gay owned, a gay-friendly pub in Streatham.

    From a user:

    “Great home cooked food served downstairs 7 days a week. Little Dance club upstairs. They played latest underground dance music with live dj sets Thurs to Sat.  Great place to meet in mid to late 90s. Such a shame when it closed in 2001”

    YOUR SUPPORT MEANS EVERYTHING

    Help us deliver unique, usable and reliable journalism that supports the gay, bisexual and curious community of the United Kingdom. Can you help protect LGBT+ media? Publishers like us have come under severe threat by the likes of Google and Facebook. The problem is that advertisers are choosing to put their money with them, rather than with niche publishers like us. Our goal is to eliminate banner ads altogether on site and we can do that if you could pledge us a tiny amount each month.

    We’re asking our readers to pledge just £1 per month, more if you’re feeling swanky. You can stop payment at any time.

    It’s quick and easy to sign up and you’ll only have to do it once.
