London, UK
Resources & Information
Gingerbeer
A Cockney rhyming slang word for 'queer', Gingerbeer is a wonderful online reference for lesbians in London. It has everything… events, clubs, book launches, sex tips, you name it. If only every city had a lesbian site as useful and well organised as this one is.
Girl Guide London
The gals behind Girl Guide were a bit frustrated that some other sites weren’t keeping listings up to date, so they decided to do something about it. Thus, Girl Guide London was born. It’s another excellent, excellent, excellent resource for London lesbian listings (say that three times fast!)
Kairos In Soho
An LGBT community centre/community support organization. They hold events dealing with everything from personal well-being to holistic medicines. They’re also behind the fabulous Soho LGBT walking tour (see the “Other Fun Stuff” section for more on that).
London Friend
A volunteer-run organisation aimed at supporting and assisting London’s LGBT community. They’ve got everything from a general help line to an LGBT library. Overall, an excellent resource.

LondonByLounge.com
Launched in February, 2008, this is a 3rd excellent online listing of what's happening in lesbian London (the others are Gingerbeer and Gay Girl London, above). Launched by the gang behind the very popular Lounge lesbian night (see the Bars, Nights & Clubs section) what I'm really looking forward to on this site is a "coming soon" printed map feature that will show you where the London lesbian bars are and even give you coupons to get in for cheaper or to jump to the head of the queue to get in.
Lovegirls
This is a London-based all-round lesbian website with info on all kinds of things, but what's especially nice is the fact that their club listings have a lot of user reviews.
scene-OUT.com
Lovely listings of all that’s happening in homo London. It’s equal opportunity for boys and girls, but their hot picks and mirror balls news give you all the insider scoop to clubland.
Stonewall
Stonewall works to gain full equality for the U.K.’s LGBT community. Besides being a community activist group their web site offers a wealth of information. Especially useful to visitors and the newly arrived are the Events and Info Bank links.
The Most Cake
For all of you ladies with alternative lifestyle haircuts, skinny jeans, nerdy glasses, a high sense of irony and a deep love of electroqueer parties, the Most Cake is for you! A group of hipster London lezzas have got together to write about their take on the London lesbian scene. This site is a great place to learn about some of the smaller, but often more fun, indie parties in the city.
Visit London
The city of London’s official webpage, just for us gays and lesbians. It’s actually a pretty good site and worth a visit, especially for general London visitors info.
