We want to reaffirm that we will always stand alongside our trans, non-binary and intersex siblings and the wider queer community. If you need support, we’ve created a list of trans services and resources.
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+ people in London. 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.
