Old Compton Street

Old Compton Street, in Soho in the West End of London, is regarded as the gay street in London. Comptons of Soho is the original gay bar located on that street, a traditional British pub, formerly with a central bar which one could walk right around, now moved to the side to give more space to punters. It is often referred to a Britain's highest grossing pub for it's size. The street now hosts many other venues such as The Admiral Duncan, Balans and Balans Cafe, Clone Zone, many popular patisseries including Valeries, and The Village bar stands at the head of the street on Wardour Street.
