Fodor's Expert Review Royal Vauxhall Tavern
South of the Thames
Cabaret
This former Victorian pub near the cricket grounds has been hosting drag acts since the days of World War II, with Princess Diana reportedly visiting in the late 1980s disguised as a man and accompanied by Freddy Mercury. LBGTQ+-oriented entertainment is still its mainstay, including performance art, Miley Cyrus tribute nights, and traditional drag performance extravaganzas, some featuring alums from RuPaul's Drag Race. The atmosphere is welcoming, inclusive, and fun.
