London Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

Choose Heathrow. Most U.S. flights land in either Gatwick or Heathrow airports. Heathrow is on the London Underground ("Tube") system, making your entry into London a little easier. Gatwick is farther from town and not linked to the Tube. Taxis to London from Gatwick are pricey, although there is a surface train.
Don’t count on the Tube when you're out late. London’s subway system stops running just after midnight on weekdays, and 11:30 PM on weekends. But thousands of buses work the streets at all hours.
Your bible is TimeOut. The authority for LGBT London is the weekly magazine TimeOut, which lists hundreds of LGBT parties, events, shows, and venues.

Its LGBT scene is massive and can't be tackled in just one trip. Read More
