Whether you want a casual night out or a full blown clubbing experience, there are countless revered spots to choose from, but one perhaps has more pedigree than the others. The Admiral Duncan on Old Compton Street is proudly London's oldest gay pub and is one of Soho's most vibrant places to go for a night out.

When we arrived at the Admiral Duncan the bar was packed to the rafters with regulars, out of towners and strays like us who'd come in to see what all the fuss was about. There was a large stage at the back of the bar where a drag queen was ruling over the crowd with an iron fist. I was struck by how warm and safe the atmosphere was, with everyone in the pub packed tightly together and expressing themselves freely as if they were old friends.

This is because I was so thrilled by the low prices I ordered far too many and in all honesty made a bit of a fool of myself.

Being the pathetic attention seeker that I am, as soon as I saw the stage I was craving a slot on the microphone.

I hurriedly scribbled my song choice on a slip of paper and within minutes I was there basking in the glow of the stage lights like a fat lizard. I've been reliably told london that my performance of Twist and Shout made some of the regulars cry. After I was given a few choice insults by the drag queen on my performance they do it to everyone apparentlyit was back to the dance floor.

I'm aware that the idea of cover people frequenting LGBT spaces is frowned upon by some who prefer to keep the spaces safe for the community - and I completely understand their points. Do you want the latest crime, sport, or breaking news in London straight to your inbox?
