London is a massive melting pot of cultures, races, religions, and sexual preferences every day so it’s hard to believe that it can get even wilder in its thrive for diversity.
And yet it does.
Every February is celebrated as the month of LGBT History in the Capital. The number of gay-friendly events, plays, exhibitions, and parties taking place during the last month of winter skyrockets.
So much so that it’s getting harder and harder to pick the events one is to attend. There are simply too many great ones taking place at the same time.
Still, no one said you can’t try 😉
There’s nothing like a new take on a seasoned classic to make St. Valentine’s day special. Especially if that modern take is a drag musical version of the 80s show Golden Girls.
Prepare yourselves for a stellar performance from Tanya Hyde, Mrs. Moore, Rose Garden, and Stephanie Von Clitz. The cast alone is a guarantee of a sassy, juicy show you simply can’t afford to miss.
Where? Two Brewers.
When? February 11-14.

What does one expect from the show? Tons of good old cabaret fun, insane performances by the “People’s Princess” and, of course, a chance at finding true love (or a one night stand if that’s what tickles your fancy at the moment).
