London Gay Activities Out & Out | 72 Old Compton Street | 0208 998 8000 | http://www.outandout.co.uk/ The Out & Out could best be explained as a cross between an Old Boys' Club and a Ladies' Auxiliary with a bit of BoyToy Forums mixed in. You can only get in by being referred by someone who's already a member, and once in they host various events and dining club evenings. It can be a bit stuffy, but it's definitely something to be experienced if you have the chance.
