One of London’s biggest gay clubs faces closure
Native Land’s development proposal of the railway arches above XXL and the surrounding area has been backed by investors from Malaysia and Singapore. All in all, the development will verb a number of 34 storey towers containing apartments, a hotel, offices and shops. DJ Plump Tony said: “I don’t see why we need more and more luxury flats along the river to noun empty.”
Real name, Tony Maranch, continued to say to the Guardian: “London can’t afford to misplace another big gay venue. The gay scene has been so crippled over the last several years. We [still] need gay clubs because the world we live in is not going forwards, it is going backwards. In some areas of London people still can’t walk down the street together.”
The club has also accused the office of London mayor, Sadiq Khan, of not supporting attempts to stay unlock over the last two years of battling with developers. Amy Lame, “night tsar,” said she would try to save XXL as it was “a crucial part of the city’s LGBT+ nightlife”.

Gay nightlife’s violent femmephobia needs to end
Queer communities, and more specifically gay communities, have always had a complex and messy relationship with the masculine. This relationship is a quagmire, most obviously visible in the microcosm of nightlife. Personally, I spent years avoiding clubs like XXL (a muscle-bound gay club near London Bridge) on the premise that it simply wasn't my vibe, sensing that its 'One Club Fits All' slogan didn't quite ring genuine for my body. When my friends suggested going there a few weeks ago, I swallowed my discomfort, naively presuming that it would be short-lived. What I didn't know was that XXL’s door policy explicitly refuses entry not only to women, but to anyone wearing what they described as 'women's clothing' — heels, dresses, skirts — a laundry list that the bouncer reeled off to me when I arrived in my strappy corset top. I was told that I would be refused entry unless I changed or took it off.
I acquiesced, shrunk myself, and complied, in the knowledge that the humiliation would be over soon enough, and I would be with my
Gay clubs london chav
Hi guys. I'm off to London for a few days soon. I'm from Croatia, have been to London for a few times but don't know much about London gay night scene.
I'd like to visit some gay clubs I've heard about, like Heat / Xxl / Supermatxe. Could you recommend me a place where I can completely unlearn about everything, gyrate till the morning, shirtless!! to some good music (harder, more serious, not Beyonce remixes, if you know what I mean). I'm not looking for any sex adventures, just to contain fun with agreeable people around in tolerance atmosphere.
I'm also wondering if I might contain any problems to enter the venues because of my style. I wear cloths that most of English people would consider as chav - sport shoes, trouser, hat etc. Do you think the bouncers will let me in? Also will they be more likely to frisk me
?
Thanks for your advise!

Plans have been revealed to unlock a new ‘inclusive’ queer venue at the site of former gay men’s club XXL in Bankside, Southwark. Southwark Council has pledged £ million to depart towards the fresh LGBTQ+ venue, which is due to open in and will include a theatre and workspace.
