Dalston Superstore
East London queer bar and club at 117 Kingsland High Street. The about page calls it East London’s premiere queer pleasure palace.
Dalston around Kingsland
East London’s established queer cluster in this census is Dalston, not a single street you can add to a Soho crawl. Dalston Superstore is at 117 Kingsland High Street. The Divine, at 33 Stoke Newington Road, is the room opened by the team behind The Glory. VFD, the queer arts and performance space at 64-66 Stoke Newington Road, is event-led. The Divine’s own about page describes this pocket, with VFD and Superstore, as the local queer triangle. The Glory’s own site says that Haggerston room has closed.

Getting oriented
Think of this as an area to know, not a border.
Queer life spills across London. This page simply groups places that are easy to combine in one outing.
- Getting there
- Dalston Kingsland (Overground) is about five minutes from The Divine; Dalston Junction is about ten. Do not walk here from Soho. The night bus or a taxi is the late way back.
- Accessibility
- Street, building, lift, toilet, seating, and sensory access vary by venue. Check the exact venue when access is important.

cultural space
VFD
Queer arts and performance space at 64-66 Stoke Newington Road. It began as Vogue Fabrics in 2007 and was renamed VFD in 2015. Programming is event-led and the room is often private hire, so there is no standing public hours grid.
