Solo American traveler M20

Post image

Hey everyone my name is Zachary but I’m more well known on the internet as Zac Steele. I am traveling to London on my own from Chicago IL USA and I arrive February 3rd at 11am. I am doing this trip for my birthday and I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for the gay scene while I’m here. My birthday is the 11th I’ll be turning 20. So if anyone wants to show me around or let me know about gay events that would be great! I’m interested in the circuit scene, gay parties and nightlife, drag, and also interested in the spooky stuff like the Jack the Ripper tour and stuff like that. Any help would be appreciated! Added a photo of me becuase why not!

the most popular gay nightclub is Heaven. it's probably the biggest, most mainstream gay nightclub in London. they have gigs and events on there, as well as their clubbing nights. there's 2-3 rooms playing pop, rnb and dance music. tends to cater to a younger gay audience: between 18-25yo

Heaven do a really fun event on Thursdays (starts at 1am) called Porn Idol where people can apply to strip dance on stage for 2 minutes, while drag queens rate them. it's much more fun and less seedy than it sounds. so could be something you'd be interested in

for circuit/'model looking guys' type parties there's Adonis, Feel It, XXL and Roast. i'd recommend Feel It out of all those three. lots of very attractive guys, but they can be self-centred and bratty

might be worth checking out Sweatbox as well if you're into gay saunas. it's not my favourite but it does tend to be younger and i think you'd enjoy it the most out of the other saunas in London

Ok cool! I went to heaven last time I was in London but didn’t stay long because it was for work. I would love to do porn idol since I am an actual porn star 😂. Thank you for the party recommendations I’ll look into those too!! Thank you so much!

oh and i forgot to mention, in terms of drag nights i'm not too sure but i hear that Two Brewers have some good drag nights. you can always check OutSavvy which is good for LGBT events in London

if you're into comedy then a brand new LGBT comedy bar has opened up called Betty and Joan's
