London’s oldest gay cafe will close it’s doors after 25 years.
BBC has the story:
First Out Cafe was the city’s first daytime gay venue, offering an alternative to the club scene, when it opened in 1986.
The business is one of a number to be affected by the upheaval caused by the development of the Crossrail network through the Tottenham Court Road area.
It hosts book groups and offers details of support over lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues.
It began as an attempt to bring European cafe culture to London, giving the city’s gay community the opportunity to socialise in an open environment.
