London has the world's most diverse late night gay scene. Mainly located around its three gay villages - Soho, Shoreditch and Vauxhall - there's a gay nightclub to suit every taste, with music policies ranging from R&B and pop to full-on funky house via more underground, edgier sounds. There are, of course, many one-off and special events that happen around town to keep a look out for. And if it's something more 'adult' that you're after, then there's a whole heap of men-only and fetish special interest clubs out there, too.

ONCE AROUND THE BLOC
Since opening in September 2010, East Bloc has become one of the hottest party destinations our fair gay scene has to offer. A deliciously eclectic, polysexual clubbing hub with a New York ‘underground’ vibe, we sent Lee Dalloway to chat with owner Wayne Shires (pictured left with Tom Stephan) to tell us more…
