London’s newest lesbian night, La Camionera, opens on Broadway Market, and hundreds flock to experience its candlelit ambience and Spanish-themed cocktails.

A great lesbian bar is hard to come by these days, especially in the wake of two of London’s most celebrated queer bars recently closing, The Glory in Haggerston and Soho’s G-A-Y Late. But the curtain hasn’t fallen yet.

A much-needed saviour has entered stage left, La Camionera, described simply as ‘Lesbian Bar’ on their Instagram, with just ten posts but a rapidly growing following. Opening last night on bustling Broadway Market, it seems like something special has hit East London’s queer scene.
