Charing Cross:

this area is the Southern most part of the crescent of gay venues which cuts across central London. It butts onto Soho, although it lacks the village atmosphere of its neighbour. Nevertheless you will find a wide selection of excellent gay bars and clubs - some of which are massive, such as the cavernous Heaven nightclub. If you are in the area, be sure to have a look at the Oscar Wilde memorial sculpture at the bottom of Adelaide St. Otherwise enjoy the drinking in the evening, and the clubs after 11pm, but if you want more even after that, you will probably want to head back to the all night café and breakfast bars in Soho, or to the nocturnal delights of Pleasuredrome Sauna - which is a short walk across the river.
