London has more gay pubs, clubs and discos than any other part of the country. It's newest, and the country's largest gay disco, opened in January 1980, plus the gay scene is more varied than anywhere else.

We also ask why many gay men are deliberately cultivating a "masculine" image. BITC Screener available
