im not sure if this topic has been covered at all anywhere else, but i was wondering if there were any specifically lesbian/gay bars in or around ED at all? ive got a couple of girl mates coming to stay with me from Oz soon who have have recently got married - and as much as they'll be more than happy in any of the bars in ED (because they are all fabulous!) im sure they would also enjoy a night of gaying it up a bit locally as well!

Hmmm - as above no lesbian places per se, but I have noticed a slightly-above-average-lesbian-clientele at:


- Green and Blue (extraordinarily high number of lesbian couples)

- Black Cherry (but less me at the moment as am boycotting due to excellent-cocktail-making-Southie-barman being on holiday or some such nonsense - pah)


ZERO sightings in the Rye. Only gay men.


Also - looks like there'll be quite a few of us at forum drinks on Friday :)

Goodness I must have walked around with my eyes closed for the past however many years then.

Not being a lesbian myself I have to rely on the votes of my lesbian friends when they come to stay - and in their opinion


Inside 72

Black Cherry

Bishop on a good night but on a bad night with too many geezers it's a no-no

They have a fondness for the waitress in Tandoori Nights as well - but then we all do


Slightly further (but not really) the Rye has always seemed to be the most populated



sometimes it seems like she's hitting on us (to this day my girl friend (who isn't my girlfriend) is convinced she was the object of affection))


Other times she just HITS us - we have been walking along the Lane, bumped into her and had her order us to wait and then follow her up the road... happy to oblige but still...

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
