Nightlife in Vauxhall

Royal Vauxhall Tavern ★ 4.7

£VauxhallEvent nights, typically 19:00-00:00 weekdays and later weekends

The Grade II listed Victorian pub on Kennington Lane is the oldest surviving LGBTQ+ venue in the country, with the Friday Duckie cabaret since 1995 and a programme that protects what Vauxhall used to be.

Tip: Duckie on Saturdays is the institution. The Sunday Bingo Lingo and panto seasons sell out months ahead.

The Kennington Lane gay bar established in 2004 is home to Horse Meat Disco on Sundays, the long-running global disco residency that defines what Vauxhall sounds like at 3am.

Tip: Sunday Horse Meat Disco is the night, not Saturdays. Get there by 22:00 or queue down the road.
