Tucked away down a little alley, Retro Bar is one of gay London’s secret gems – a small, mixed indie bar, where eccentrics are welcomed. The music mixes 70s, 80s, New Romantic, goth and alternative – and is reflected in the décor, featuring photos of iconic rock and pop figures, from Bolan to Bowie. There’s a great jukebox – think Grace Jones, Visage, The Associates – and more women than you’ll find in many gay establishments.
