XXL (AWAITING NEW VENUE)
Very popular club luring cruisy, older bears (ex-1970s/80s clones) and their younger protégé cubs, rubbing up against less stalky and less bearded but still hungry onlookers. Established in 2000 by Mark Ames. In March 2012 XXL moved from Arcadia (formerly the Arches) to Pulse — an enormous south-of-the-river club that opened March 2011, with five interconnecting arches including three bar areas, state-of-the-art video projection and a well-endowed dance floor.

As an avid XXL goer, I am now wanting for its return so badly, this space created the avenue for disabled (wheelchair users) gay men to be part of the scene that’s sometimes exclusionary.
Xxl Be honest.
Xxl party now more and more worse. They are a groups of thieves from security and staff. Don't leave any things in the coat check they are stolen my mobile i just get in only 30mins not drunk yet. formits happen to my friend too he lost the ticket and cant fine the jacket in coat check room. We try to talk with the manager they just tell us call on Monday and after call Monday tell me come on Saturday to talk face to face tell them what is going on i come on Saturday the manager talk with me at the front door only 1 mins we dont found anything then kik me out . If you go there must be careful .
A great club for everyone
Arrived at about 11:30pm and it was starting to fill up. By 1am, the club was jumping. Friendly atmosphere.... different music in separate rooms...Plenty to places to sit if that's what you want ..Drinks weren't expensive....average...But the whole vibe of the club as layed back and welcoming. Main dance floor got crowded as expected...They do have a back room so if you to play that's also available. Staff was helpful, and friendly.. They do pat you down upon entry, so be responsibe. Entrance fee was £15,£8 for members and coat check was £1. All in all a fabulous night, at a club that finally got things right, and fairly easy to get to with the tube. 5 min walk from Southwark on the Jubilee line...
lost direction, lost spirit bear or big men
One day it was good but now you see skinny young guys. Lost all that old vibe that welcomed older men and the bear community. Now feeling is beautiful boys and that bears are guests.
fun
A fun night out with friendly crowd, big dance floors, naughty area and nice staff. Music is very pop commercial remix.
