LGBTQ+ community local in Elephant & Castle, opened April 2024.
South London's newest permanent LGBTQ+ local, opened April 2024 by Piers Greenlees and Simon Burke in a pub that served the Rockingham Estate as The Rising Sun for nearly 90 years before the previous landlady retired. The building nearly became flats — a local campaign preserved it as a pub, and the new owners relaunched it as a queer community space. This is not Soho. It's Elephant & Castle, serving Bermondsey, Borough, and Walworth — a dense residential area that had no dedicated queer spaces until now. Board games on Tuesdays, live music Thursdays, drag and DJs on weekends, Sunday jazz. Dog-friendly. The opening drew coverage from Sky, BBC, and The Guardian, the kind of attention that signals how rare a brand-new neighborhood queer pub has become in London.

Cherry Grove is where gay America summered before there was a word for it. Here's the complete guide to Fire Island's original queer hamlet — its history, its drag-soaked nightlife, where to stay and eat, the beach, and how it differs from the Pines next door.
