	'''The Village bar''' first opened on Hanway Place, an alley-way north of Oxford Street in [[London]] in 1990. It was the first modern bar that reflected contemporary design, it was not a traditional British pub and did not have blacked out windows like many gay bars had at the time, and some still do. It was owned by [[Gordon Lewis]] and partly run by his cousin and accountant [[Lancelot Fougere]]. It was a single-level basement bar with light contemporary design and employed fresh and good looking bar staff. It became popular quickly, and a second Village was opened two years later, on it's current site in [[Wardour Street]], looking down the length of [[Old Compton Street]].
