The young, the restless and the G-A-Y

The enduringly popular G-A-Y remains one of London's defining gay institutions, especially among the under-25s. Started in 1976, the dance-and-cruise club spent most of its iconic years in Charing Cross Rd, in various sections of the London Astoria (a former cinema). Until the late 1980s the club night went by the name of Bang!, but was changed to G-A-Y in the early 1990s when taken over by Bang! DJ Jeremy Joseph.

Heavenly

My partner, my best friends and I always go here at least once when we're in the UK. The music is great, the staff is friendly and the boys young and not so young are always great to look at . Check this place out you won't be sorry!

The most famous club in London

G-A-Y at Heaven is one of the most iconic London gay clubs. The place is really huge and has six different bars dance floors featuring mostly pop, dance and RnB hits. It attracts mostly younger crowd, however, everyone is welcomed here and can feel like at home which makes this club so popular. On Saturdays they usually have some famous pop stars performing. Arrive before 11:30 pm to avoid a long queue. For free or discounted entry get a wristband in or in front of G-A-Y bar from one of the club promoters.
