Comptons of Soho

Comptons of Soho The Grande Dame of Old Compton Street
(411)

The Grande Dame of Old Compton Street, built on the site of the 200-year-old Swiss Hotel,
Compton's has been at the epicentre of the gay scene since 1986. A welcoming beacon through the tough times of the late 80s and 90s, Compton's became famous for the throngs of gay men drinking on the street outside the venue. Now one of London’s most-celebrated LGBTQIA+ venues, Compton's remains the steadfast heart of gay Soho and will be standing proud for many years to come.

To our sisters — you’ve always been here.

From the first Pride marches in London, when showing up was an act of protest, to the spaces, culture, and communities that exist today — you’ve shaped it all.

You’ve helped build our community from the ground up. You’ve carved out space where there was none. Through informal networks of care, protection, and solidarity, you helped make places like Soho safer for our community back in a time when acceptance was far from guaranteed.

Your visibility has never been passive — it’s been powerful, defiant, and world-changing.

We see you. We celebrate you. And thabk you. Our space is — and always will be — yours.
