The Royal Vauxhall Tavern

372 Kennington Ln, London SE11 5HY | Open every day from 7pm, until as late as 4am Fridays and Saturdays

When it comes to legendary LGBTQ+ venues, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern stands out, resilient and iconic. This establishment, dating back to 1863, has not only weathered the storm of property developers but has also secured a Grade II listing and 'Asset of Community Value' status, thanks in part to the unwavering support of the RVT Future campaign.

It's not trans specific, but stands as a beacon of the LGBTQ+ community. What makes the Royal Vauxhall Tavern truly special is its ability to seamlessly blend rich history, where legends like Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury have left their mark, with cutting-edge queer club nights like Duckie and Bar Wotever, run by London's very own 'Night Czar,' Amy Lamé. Whether you're in the mood for a fabulous drag show, a night of fetish fun, or the pop-tastic 'Push the Button,' the RVT has it all.

Get ready to groove to pop bangers that would make Max Martin proud, all while being treated to sensational drag shows that will leave you in stitches. Be prepared to join the queue, but rest assured, the fun is more than worth the wait.
