District read

Soho still matters symbolically and practically, but East London carries a lot of the newer nightlife current and neighborhood choice shapes everything. London is not a one-district city. It is an orbit city. Pick your orbit and let the rest wait.

Practical safety read

London is usually workable for queer travelers, but the size of the city makes transport and route planning part of the whole experience. You are often less at risk from one bad area than from exhaustion, distance, and badly-timed transfers.
