Romance

A romantic escape to London isn't complete without a night at the theatre. Half-priced show tix are available at “tkts” in Leicester Square. During the summer, pack a picnic for an afternoon in St. James, Kensington, or Hyde Park.

Nightlife

Clubs, pubs, and discos—oh my! London's home to more gay clubs than we can mention. Many of which cater to a certain scene. Soho and Vauxhall host many of them, but the happening hotspots change daily, keep current with Boyz, QX, and the Pink Paper magazines.

Know Before You Go

• During the week, bars and pubs close at 11 PM; on the other hand, gay nightclubs start hopping at midnight and go until 4 AM.
• Get a map and take the tube! London's extensive, easy-to-use subway system is your friend. But remember, the tube stops service at midnight on weeknights—after that it's either cabs or walking.
• Research London restaurants before your trip. Finding the best—and most affordable—places to each can take a little work.
