What’s Hot This Week

WUT? CLUB: Step Back In Time

Before they host the official Pride afterparty at The Steelyard next month, WUT? CLUB have found time to squeeze in one more of their wild monthly parties!
Homo Superior

Come roll round in all things QUEER at Homo Superior, the night that celebrates QUEER icons, QUEER artists, and QUEER anthems.
A:M

We like our club nights like we like our men: 12 hours long!
BANG

Uber-sexy night BANG is trekking over the water down to their new home at Bloc South.
Beyond: Land of the Rising Sun

Hi-octane, hi-NRG, hi-kicking clubbing experience Beyond are going east this weekend.
XXL Jocks

The smell of sweaty jockstraps and raw testosterone fill the air, furtive glances are shared in the showers, teensy-weensy white towels are slapped on furry arses.
Pink Lemonade #4

Thirsts, prepared to be quenched: Pink Lemonade is back!
Vauxpop! Whitney Special

To mark the release of Nick Broomfield’s new documentary on Whitney Houston’s life, Vauxhall pop-pushers Vauxpop! will be hosting a night dedicated to the immensely talented icon.
Sunday Social with Mary Mac

Some people go to church on Sundays. Others to Ikea, or a gorgey National Trust property. All lovely, but it’s a waste not to head to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern for their long-running and legendary Sunday Social.
Orange

Orange helps you get one of your recommended five days-a-week clubbing that we heartily recommend here at QX.
The White Swan

The White Swan is an INSTITUTION of the London gay scene.

The Village is a quintessential gay bar.
KU Bar

It’s KU! They’ve got all sorts going on at the moment.
