The Gay Scene in London reviewed by Chris GearyGay London

London is where I live. Being the UK’s capital you wouldn't expect anything less than the best. It's a fantastic place to visit with so much to see and do. London's gay scene is said to be amongst the best in the world. Large clubs and a whole array of pubs, cafes and shops all make gay life into a massive non-stop arcade and adventure. London is totally different to the rest of the UK, the atmosphere, the attitude, the lifestyle, the cost of things and the type of people. If you’re buying a property you can expect to spend at least 3 times more than the rest of the country. However it’s a great place to live if you like being in the centre of the action.
