About
If you’re navigating the gay map of West London looking for an authentic, unpretentious experience, Ted’s Place in London is a legendary underground sanctuary. For over three decades, this iconic cruising bar has been a pillar of the city’s queer nightlife, tucked away in a cavernous basement in Fulham. It’s a space where the atmosphere is thick with history and anticipation, offering a raw and welcoming vibe that is increasingly hard to find in the modern scene. Ted’s Place caters to a diverse LGBTQ+ crowd with a curated weekly schedule designed for connection and exploration. Gay men looking for a more intense experience will love 'Cruise Control' Fridays or the 'Unwrapped' underwear nights on Tuesdays. The venue features a social bar for mingling, which leads into the notorious 'netted' dark zone and cruising areas—complete with a sling and private corners—perfect for those who want to satisfy their desires in a safe, discreet environment. Beyond its reputation as a premier cruising spot, the venue is a dedicated home for the trans and cross-dressing community on specific nights, proving its status as a versatile and inclusive landmark. Whether you are a local regular or a traveler using Pride Nav to discover the city’s best-kept secrets, Ted’s Place offers old-school charm and a friendly, down-to-earth environment. Descend the stairs and discover one of London’s most enduring and intimate queer spaces.
