The London Hotel is always a safe and friendly place to be, even on match days. It's spotlessly clean, the staff are friendly and very good at their jobs, even when the pub is very busy, you won't wait long to be served. The food is beautiful and freshly cooked. Sunday roast is an absolute must.

I have just moved to Southampton. Tried this bar tonight and the music good, the vibe good but on a Saturday this is a straight bar. There were a few gay people dotted around the room but very much in the minority. I hope other nights of the week are more gay.

The London is a friendly and thriving LGBT friendly establishment in the Ocean Village area of the city. I've always found the bar staff to be helpful and welcoming. Great for drag shows, cabaret or just local meet ups.

Me and my partner and a friend went to this place Saturday 24th February to have a drink, but we was turned away by a very impolite bouncer who said we were all too unsteady to come in which we were not, and told to go away for 50 mins and have something to eat we walked away and went into the casino opposite who let us enter without any problems, we had something to eat in there and then went back to the London and again was told we cannot enter the bouncer said we was not gone for 50 mins I told him we had something to eat, but he still did not allow us in we have been going to the London for many years and never caused any problems at all we will never be stepping foot in the place ever again, I find the bouncers very rude and we feel that it was just a excuse because my partner and friend are quite tall and they assumed they would cause trouble which they wouldn't of done, we then went into the med bar club down the road which also let us enter which tells me that the bouncer was discriminating us in entering the London, I will be letting everyone I know how disgusting this is and to not go in there

Quieter of the pubs on Oxford Street popular with locals and LGBTQ+ Community alike - I daresay it gets quite a lot more rumbustious when the Cabaret starts.

My friends and I were unsure how to enter the venue. The sign said to follow through the back door of the bar to enter, which myself and my friends did. Upon discovering this, myself and my friends approached this door. We were chased by the bouncer, who had ginger curly hair with a stretcher in her ear. She told us we were unable to enter through the side door. We then explained the confusion and how the sign had mislead us. She continued to bark sarcastic remarks and told us we would no longer be able to enter the venue, despite a genuine misunderstanding regarding the venue entry. She insinuated we were disregarding the rules and that we would no longer be welcomed to the venue. We explained how this incident was a genuine mistake, to which she laughed in our face and said “well, try mail room then love”. Her customer service was appalling and she was visibly grinning when we were confused as to the situation. I have never been to Southampton before but was made to feel that I was never welcome again. The worst service I have ever received in the public sector. DO NOT VISIT!!!

Not a very friendly place. Stayed in Southampton for 5 nights and visited the bar on busy and dead nights during the week. Bar staff not friendly. Not even a thank you or cheers with a beer order. I had cash to tip (and I’m generous) but didn’t feel anyone deserved it. As an American visiting, (or any newcomer for that matter) a general chat about one’s visit would have been appreciated, especially when the bar staff is not busy. Not impressed but it has so much potential.

Nice pub, but someone decided not to serve us any more drinks, considering that we had enough. I mention that we sat quietly on the terrace without any behavior that would disturb anyone. As if we were at a bar to drink hollywater, not a drink. The security staff is extraordinary. Too bad about the room manager who decides how much and how everyone drinks. I have never been treated like this in any gay or straight pub.

I've been visiting this place on and off for 20 years. Always a good time at The London. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyone is welcome without judgement, the security staff do a good job of looking out for any potential issues and dealing with things if needed. I'd like to see a greater variety of cask beers but then I'm more of a craft ale drinker and appreciate that's not what the venue is about. The entertainment is always enjoyable and you cannot beat some 80/90s 'Guilty Pleasures'. I've never stayed there or been for food during the day, but have heard positive comments on both.

I’m new to the UK. Been here a month. And I just wanted to have a beer in a safe space. Once I walked through the door I asked the bartender how he was and that I wanted a Guinness. Cause obviously I’m British now. He then said he can’t serve me because I’m too drunk. I asked why and he replied, “I could see from the way you walked in you had too much to drink”. I had one glass of Prosecco with my friend and her mom before coming here. In the Uber back home now. I’ve never felt more embarrassed. 😭

I thought the UK was a welcoming country. One of the barmen at The London Hotel in Southampton just showed away my friend, for being drunk based on the way he walks? It is unacceptable to belittle someone on how they walk when he wasn't even close to being drunk? Kind regards

Very good prices for the area of Southampton it is situated within and when you want to get up and dance to the great shows and DJs they have available on various nights it makes a great night out for anyone who wants to enjoy themselves. Such great work by the team to make it a fantastic. And as for the pubs decore it really takes you back to those great and grand times. Totally LGBTQ + friendly ❤️💗.
