About this place The Lord Clyde

The Lord Clyde on Wotton Road in Deptford, SE8, looks like a corner pub but runs as a gay cruise and fetish bar over three floors with a play area. QX, Travel Gay and GayCities all list it. The door policy is men only, with an Open House night on the second Friday of the month. It opens Wednesday to Sunday; its Instagram (@thelordclyde.se8) has the week's themes and dress codes. Deptford and New Cross are under ten minutes by train from London Bridge.

I recently attended this pub for their open house event where they open the doors to any gender and sexualities. The place is like the tardis loads of space inside for socialising and a few private areas for more. The bar is well stocked and not expensive and the staff were efficient and friendly. The event was well attended with a good mix of all genders definitely a place I would recommend. A great first visit and not my last

sorry. but this place is rather exclusive for a fit and cute asian guy. maybe just not their cup of tea. got nothing here but much welcome and actions from other venues. the receptionist had a good smile though.

It’s a shame, because this place had the potential to replace other bars and clubs in London. The Lord Clyde has a reputation for being filthy, low‑class, and badly decorated. Everything is mismatched, so you don’t even know where you are. It looks like a cheap 80s disco, with horrible TV screens showing movies nobody wants to watch, disco lights, hangers, boxes, and clutter everywhere. Paint is peeling, the walls are damp, and it all feels cheap and tacky. Inside, it lacks cleanliness, cohesion, and even feels unsafe, with cables and extension cords everywhere and a horrific basement that is cold and messy. Very dirty place, unsafe, with no style or cleanliness. Electric cords and dirty furniture are everywhere, and there is no security at the door.
