The drinks aren’t the cheapest on the scene, but Instagram-friendly surroundings and a soundtrack of glorious disco music make up for it. Probably Soho’s quirkiest queer spot, this fab basement bar has Ken and Barbie dolls hanging from the ceiling and snug seating areas that are great for dates. If you don’t fancy jostling for space in the main bar, head upstairs for a more sedate experience in the surprisingly classy lounge – it even has a chandelier. This Soho stalwart tends to attract a slightly older crowd of gay guys and has a reputation for being cruisy. Comptons of Soho © douglasmack / Shutterstock Central London LGBT+ bars Comptons of Soho
