💚 With thanks to @londonist_com. 🏳️‍🌈 “The Royal Vauxhall Tavern is nothing less than a queer institution in London. As early on as the 1940s, gay men were drawn to the venue — which is now a daily riot of cabaret, quizzes clubbing — and the annual panto. The word iconic may be tired, but not when it comes to a sacred venue that holds so much of British queer history between its walls. From Princess Diana going on a night out disguised as a drag king, to Paul O' Grady making Lily Savage a household name here, RVT is the first pub anyone wanting to pay their dues should go.” - - - #bestlgbtqbars #londonsbest #bestlgbtqbar - #rvt #royalvauxhalltavern #vauxhalltavern #lgbt #lesbian #gay #bisexual #trans #nonbinary #gaybar #gayclub #gaylife #gayculture #dragshow #landmark #bar #club #lgbtqia #drag #cabaret #ukgay #londongay #iconic #worldrenowned #gaypride #lgbtq🌈
