About this place The Backstreet

The Backstreet is a leather and rubber club in London’s East End, open Thursday through Sunday. It has one of the strictest dress codes around, which has earned it a devoted international following among leather and rubber enthusiasts. Beyond the regular weekend, the club also runs special parties and events year-round. London’s gay scene is huge, with spots for every taste. But The Backstreet stands out for its laser focus. If you’re into leather, rubber, or the broader BDSM community, this is your place. It pulls a discerning crowd, people who appreciate the club’s commitment to its specific vibe and high standards. You'll find The Backstreet in Wentworth Mews, less than a minute's walk from the tube, so it's easy to get to no matter where you are in London. Under-25s get free membership. There’s also a private smokers' area. Always check their website for current opening times, special events, and dress code details before you head over.

This has to be the most authentic leather bars in London. Like all such places, the crowd varies but generally everyone is friendly and up for it. The barmen are welcoming. When I came here last week, I had a great time catching up with mates and enjoying what's on offer.
