Visit the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre at 60-62 Hopton Street now. Our Centre initially came about as a pop-up Centre in response to the severe isolation and loneliness the LGBTQ+ community has felt since lockdown began, and we aim to provide some comfort and solace for LGBTQ+ Londoners and their friends and allies. We are now a permanent space.
We’re proud to be working with some of the capital’s amazing LGBTQ+ service providers, offering a holistic programme of services, events, talks and workshops, combined with a cafe space that invites visitors to simply just be.
We can’t wait to welcome you with open arms.
