As season 2 of the podcast begins - we delve into the history, heart, and sheer fabulousness of one of London’s most iconic queer venues ...
A space that since its doors opened in the 1860s, has stood proudly at the intersection of resilience, rebellion, and celebration. It’s a place where drag legends have been born, where music and laughter has echoed through generations, and where the LGBTQ+ community has always found refuge and joy - even in the toughest times.
From its legendary performances during the AIDS crisis, when the venue became a lifeline for so many, to the unforgettable stories of artists like Lily Savage lighting up the stage, it's not just a venue - it’s a living monument to queer history and culture.
We are blessed in the company of the man who has done so much help carry that legacy forward - Mr James Lindsay, CEO and Managing Director of the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, a venue which under his leadership continues to evolve while staying true to its roots: as a vibrant, inclusive space that celebrates diversity, creativity, and community spirit.
Ladies & Gentlemen - Welcome to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern!
