Vauxhall, Brixton and G-A-Y Nightclub

Equipped with our bicycles hired through the London City cycle scheme, we set out for Vauxhall. We had heard that there were a few gay establishments in the area. Upon our arrival there was much disappointment. Maybe we landed in the wrong area but there was little to see, other than the hoards of police that were positioned in Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.

With a quick cycle around Vauxhall, we headed south to Brixton, where we seemed to have entered a completely new world. Scattered throughout Brixton were preachers on the footpaths ranting about Jesus and the need to seek forgiveness and salvation. We did get a very nice chicken biryani from the Brixton market (and as cheap as chips, well nearly).

In the evening, we set off again with our bicycles and headed for Soho on the other side of the Thames to go to G-A-Y nightclub. The view of London at night as we cycled across the Waterloo Bridge seemed much nicer, with the London Eye all lit up.Read more
