Bag O'Nails in Buckingham Palace Road, London was a meeting place for guardsmen and homosexuals in the 1940s and 50s. [1]. It was also a pub frequented by lesbians until they were made to feel unwelcome and transferred their patronage to the Gateways Club. The building is Grade II listed and located less than 10 minutes away from Buckingham Palace.

Not to be confused with the Bag O'Nails, a live music club and meeting place for musicians in the 1960s and situated at 9 Kingly Street, Soho, London, where a doorway plaque commemorates Jimi Hendrix's performance at the venue.
