Did this 2 years ago for @londoninbits to mark LGBT+ History Month.
It's my personal journey about 'the evolution of London’s gay scene through the AIDS crisis, Section 28, and the second Summer of Love'.

I did an interview with @londoninbits on the strange experience of using a Lidar 3D scanner to document offshore tax-haven owned property in London 🔎 Cheers to @hinchcliffe and the LiB team for this. Article here: londoninbits.substack.com/p/…

Thanks to @londoninbits for asking me to talk about my favourite restaurant before/if it disappears. I picked the wonderful Estrela bar in London’s sometimes under appreciated Little Portugal. Read the interview here: londoninbits.substack.com/p/…

@londoninbits Excellent piece about the toxic world of Stringfellows. Deserves to be widely read.

Lovely piece on @londoninbits about Bar Bruno and the importance of celebrating the local greasy spoon, even if it’s not Instagram friendly. londoninbits.substack.com/p/…

This (with thanks to @helenbarrett for the spot) is fabulous. A decent test of character is to check if someone knows this place. Bradley's : Lager and Shots in No-Man's Land londoninbits.substack.com/p/…

One of my favourite London haunts. Met lots of weird and wonderful people in there, including the Bjork era Sugarcubes.
"White Horses" by Jackie Lee on the jukebox was always a favourite.

Very glad you wrote this - I may never get back into central London again, but this morning you've reminded me of a meet-up with some old Uni chums there many moons ago! Thank you!🌷

It must be 10yrs since I went here, and that tiny club a few doors down. Reminded of sthg Alan Moore said: “People will say ‘well, you can say that about anywhere.’ And I would say that is precisely the point.” We all have those places and history is everywhere. Cheers @garius

First went to Bradley's in 1977 or '78 and quite often during the' 80s when I had my studio just round the corner in Rathbone Place. One of London's best kept secrets.

Does anyone remember the name of the after-after hours club (again, very Spanish) which was in the basement of the bar opposite the Dorada? Underground, total firetrap, sweat (or damp?) running down the walls?

Oh the late nights we spent in the Spanish Bar in the early 80s…. What a legend of a bar 💕💕💕

My favourite Bradley's memory was some afternoon drinking during the 2002 World Cup, when we ended up there after the South Korea-Italy game and got talking to furious Anglo-Italian, who turned out to be Paul Di'Anno, original lead singer of Iron Maiden.

This, right here, made my heart soar. When I left London in the early 2000s to live, (not so temporarily it turned out) in the shires, this, I realised was what I missed. It dawned on me one day, I vocalised it, people thought I was crackers. Thank you.

This is perfect
