P-45 Barbs Redundancy Party

Just look at our baby!

From its humble beginnings in 1915 as a pub used by the local East End community, via the starry casts of Alfred Hitchcock movies (Gainsborough Studios was just around the corner), 281 Kingsland Road has always been a place of notoriety, art and outrageous performance. 

Many a queen and king has filled their boots within our rickety q***r castle so it’s sad that The Glory will finally leave its beloved family home after a series of fabulous events, the final being 31st January 2024. 

We only have 8 days left!!! So please come and press yourself against these campy haunted walls one last time AND then come and join us for the next chapter in q***r history at The Divine - your naughty little sister!

Goodnight my darling, and thank you for keeping us safe for these past 10 years x
