Description

Queer Premises explores the vital social and cultural infrastructure that has connected different generations and locations in London's LGBTQ+ communities since the 1980s. This book delves into how urban space, systems, and resources have been shaped by diverse LGBTQ+ populations.

The author examines the creation and sustenance of various venues, including bars, cafes, nightclubs, pubs, community centres, and hybrids of these types, across London's cityscape from the 1980s to the present. By understanding how these spaces were imagined, established, operated, and served their purposes, Campkin sheds light on the challenges faced by these venues and why they have closed down.
