One of London's oldest traditional gay pubs, attracting one of London's oldest gay clienteles. An impressively large and provincial-feeling establishment on two floors — including a music-themed basement (Fridays, Saturdays and occasional Thursdays) where younger men dance to retro chart hits — the Quebec has been referred to both affectionately and sneeringly as the 'Elephant's Graveyard'. Food menu includes pizzas, sandwiches, toasties and more, including a full-on weekend brunch (11am–3pm). And there's a beer garden. Established 1946.

Virtually unique
Older/ younger relationships tend to be associated (at least in the popular gay mind) with the world of rent boys. The Quebec shows that this need not be so. Another reviewer puts it at about 3 per cent rent and I would agree. 30 years ago, when I was in my early 20s, I found it both friendly and fascinating (lots of ex-fighter pilots from WW2!). It still is.
