We love this inspo image by Laurence Jaugey-Paget, that featured on the cover of her book Nice Girls Don’t! Jaugey-Paget is a fantastic photographer and had her work published in so many fab magazines including, Q**m, Lesbia, On Our Backs, Girlfriends, Diva, Skin Two, and many more books including, Making Out: An A to X of Le***an S*x and S*xuality and Nothing But the Girl. Laurence was also one third of Flirt! A UK le***an er0tic magazine!

We can’t wait to recreate this particular photo on Saturday. And party with you all after at Retro! X

27 years today since the awful attack on our sister venue, the Admiral Duncan in Soho. Today we remember those we lost, Nik Moore, Andrea D***s and John Light. We think of all those who were injured, all their families and friends.

Community will be coming together at the Admiral Duncan later today, from 5pm, and holding a minute’s silence together at 18:37. We hope that you will join us in taking this moment to pause in remembrance. ❤️ We never forget.

Good Friday! We are thrilled to announce that the £1000 raised, through our upstairs bar bookings, has been donated to London Trans+ Pride 2026! 🥳🙌🏳️‍⚧️ Huge thanks again to everyone who donated 💖 Every donation helps cover essential costs like accessibility and safety, ensuring London Trans+ Pride remains free and inclusive for all.

London Trans+ Pride is the world’s largest annual demonstration in support of trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex lives. It is run entirely by volunteers and they rely on community donations to keep the event free, accessible, and safe for everyone.
