Gay Bars Closed: The Lost LGBT Scene Project
Logging the gay bars closed and other LGBT+ venues that have closed in London and across the UK
Weve created this archive to remember and pay tribute to the gay bars and LGBT+ spaces that have closed. Theres no denying that the scene went through a heydey back in the 80s and 90s but as technology and other factors have slowly become essential in connecting the LGBT+ community, since the 00s, many bars have fallen by the wayside.
At one time the LGBT bar was one of our only safe spaces. It was where many of us could feel at home, be ourselves and with people who understood our journey. They were and still continue to be a hugely essential part of our community.
We’re looking for your contributions to make this an essential archive of the LGBT scene in the UK. If you hold memories, photos or even stories of some of the venues listed please click on it and add your content in the comment section. We will then add these to the main article.
