If I could find a working one of these, I would be over to visit immediately!

We will be in UK for the month of June. Can't wait. I haven't been home in over 10 years.

A few of my friends and I are organising a butch / femme / trans / genderqueer and allies meet on Saturday 19th May. To facilitate some folk travelling from outside of London, we'll be meeting as from noon-ish ... likely a few drinks, followed by a meal somewhere and then some more drinks until late for those who are still around.


Will be a small-ish gathering of good, friendly people. If anyone may be interested in coming along, let me know and I'll provide the details etc.

When I lived in Glasgow, there was a Tardis Police Box that had been turned into a Coffee Bar in the city centre.

Of course Sky, you would be more than welcome. I'm trying to confirm times / venues etc over the next week and will post here when I have these.

Would be great to see you there.

Sky_femme 05-11-2012 04:32 PM

OMG, I can't wait!! *jumps up and down* :cheer:

Ciaran 05-12-2012 01:22 PM

Great Sky !

I'll post the details here tomorrow (am on mobile device at moment).

Ciaran 05-12-2012 09:06 PM

Sky

Latest itinerary is as follows:

- 12pm / 12.30pm to mid-afternoon: Ku Bar, Lisle Street.

- Mid-afternoon: food somewhere (fear it will be somewhere in Chinatown, which I'm not a particular fan of but others are).

- Freedom bar: we should have some folk here from 7pm or so. I'll be there from 8pm at the latest.

- Later: we will go to a club. Current thinking is possibly the Way Out Club. This wouldn't necessarily be everyone's "cup of tea" but it's actually good fun, open late and a very friendly environment.



I'll be at the meet from the start until 3pm or a bit later and back again for around 7.30pm / 8.00pm (in between times, I'm away to Twickenham to watch the rugby European Cup Final. Not a rugby fan but my home province of Ulster is in the final and I cannot miss the opportunity to attend this with some of my friends from back home).


Note that, as highlighted above, the Ku Bar that we will be meeting in is the one in Lisle Street. This is useful to note as there are two Ku Bars that are both within walking distance of each other. It's very each to get to ..... come of of Leicester Square underground station, taking the Chinatown exit and it's within 50 metres or so.


If you have any worries or concerns, let me know and Im happy to meet you outside of any of the venues and introduce you to folk !!

Sky_femme 05-13-2012 01:28 PM

Thanks Ciaran!

I will join you at 7 at the Freedom bar. Hope I'll be able to find the group (I don't know what anyone looks like apart from you, but you'll arrive later :) )

I'm not sure yet if I will make it to Ku bar before that, but will try and see...
Are there going to be many people who won't stay until Freedom bar? The more new people I meet the better :)

I will send you a PM with my number

Ciaran 05-13-2012 01:53 PM

Hi Sky

Yes, there will be some people who'll be at Ku Bar who won't be there later - some people are travelling from outside of London and will be leaving to return home in the evening.

However, most people should be there at Freedom Bar at least for an hour or two and some of us will be there for longer !

I will be there by 8pm but will try to get there earlier. I'll let others know you're coming so you'll be guaranteed a friendly welcome.

I'm assuming you are aware but, in case not, the first weekend of July in London is World Pride so there'll be a significant amount of LBGT energy in London then.

Hi Twinkletoes and welcome to the site.

Sort of depends on what you are interested in. If it's mainstream lesbian scene that you are trying to find out more on, then the following magazine is a pretty good start. It's free of charge and can be accessed online or, in paper copy from many LGBT bars in the city:

If you have any more specific queries, then more than happy to answer them (if I can).

twinkletoes 09-29-2012 04:23 AM

Thanks very much for the link :) will make sure i have a looksie today
