London gay scene guide
Gays in London
Brad - first comment is you seem to hold some pretty steep expectations. Since you've been to Europe, I assume you're used to things being different (not worse, just different). That being said, London has lots of great luxury hotels - unfortunately given the expense, most of us can't afford to stay in these properties in London (for example, we often stay at the Four Seasons properties in the US, but can't touch Claridges or the Savoy in London). A great hotel (small rooms, but very novel and posh) adjacent Soho (the area I assume you would be most interested) is the Charlotte Street Hotel.<BR><BR>Gay scene is very open around Soho (especially Old Compton Street) which is also the theatre district, very convenient (enjoy shows in London more than even New York and it's the only thing that's less expensive than the states).<BR><BR>There are some great boutiques for shoppingHarvey Nichols (also has a great Yo Sushi on the fifth floor), Selfridges (great department store that's very hip), Paul Smith and Reiss (kind of a hipper Banana R

Gay Guide London
London is a city with a population of around 11 million people, divided into boroughs, operating almost as towns in their own right. The centre is divided into 3 specific cities: the City of London to the east is the financial and business district; Westminster is the seat of the Government with the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace and the West Terminate, with department stores, boutiques, hotels, restaurants, clubs and bars. In the last fifteen years, a occupied gay scene has been overlaid onto the once-seedy area of Soho, bordered by Oxford Street, London's main shopping street, and Shaftesbury Avenue, the theatre district. Old Compton Road is where you will find gay bars, restaurants and pubs, also clothes shops and gay stores for magazines and toys. You'll also find flyers for party nights elsewhere in the city.

Vauxhall is the city's second gay centre as successfully as the clubbing ar
