London Pub

London Pub has been Oslo’s go‑to gay hangout since 1979, serving a low‑key bar vibe in the city centre. On C.J. Hambros plass, just a few minutes’ walk from Karl Johans gate, the venue feels more like a neighborhood pub than a nightclub. Its two floors hold a pool table, a jukebox and, on weekends, a DJ spinning from the back room. The crowd is eclectic: gay men of every age, lesbians and their friends mingle without any pretence. It opens at 15:00 every day, shutters at 01:00, and pushes the lights out to 03:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Prices sit in the mid‑range for Norway—still steep if you’re used to cheaper drinks elsewhere—but the atmosphere keeps most regulars coming back, especially late on weekend evenings and during Oslo Pride in late June.
