Royal Vauxhall Tavern

CabaretLocals' pick

South London's oldest surviving queer venue, an 1863 pub now Grade II listed for its LGBTQ+ history: Lily Savage started behind the bar, Freddie Mercury is said to have brought Princess Diana, and nights like Duckie and Bar Wotever carry on its cabaret tradition.
