There is open recognition of gays in London exemplified by annual festivals, hosting of EuroPride in 2006, the first tourist office dedicated to LGBTs and the right to civil partnerships available in the United Kingdom.
Some sources of accessible information include: G3, a free lesbian monthly, which carries the latest news. Other magazines include Out Magazine and Boyz for gay men.
A walk in any London gayborhood (Soho, Vauxhall, Islington, Hoxton) will reveal some restaurant treats. These include: Balans Cafe, First Out Cafe-Bar, Bistrotheque, Steph’s, Les Trois Garcons, the Providores and Tapa Room, and the Alisan which are just a few of the tasty options.
In East London is a rare venue, the Sunday Up Market at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, where designers sell directly to the public. Gay’s The Word is a book shop worth visiting. Since 1979 it has been the country’s most comprehensive lesbian and gay bookstore.
