The WayOut Club – London’s Legendary Transgender Nightclub
Established in 1993, The WayOut Club is one of the UK’s longest-running and most recognised transgender nightlife events. Now hosted at the Zodiac Bar in central London, the club has spent more than three decades providing a welcoming, inclusive space where transgender, non-binary, cross-dressing, drag, LGBTQ+ people, allies, friends, and admirers can socialise, celebrate, and be themselves without judgement.
Operating on selected Saturday nights each month, The WayOut Club is renowned for its friendly atmosphere, live entertainment, and community spirit. Its motto, “Where Gender Has No Boundary and Neither Does Love,” reflects the welcoming environment that has made it a landmark within London’s LGBTQ+ scene.
