London LGBTQ+ Community Centre

Sober, intergenerational, intersectional LGBTQ+ Community Centre set up by and for LGBTQ+ folks in Bankside, London 🌈

21/08/2026

The recent EHRC guidance has been a difficult and scary time for many in our community.⁠
⁠
We’ve put together a list of resources to support trans folk. ⁠Swipe through to find support services, and the trans social groups we host at the Centre. We hope this is of help to anyone who needs it.⁠
⁠
You can also find a more comprehensive list of helpline services and support articles via the link in our bio.⁠
⁠
As a reminder, we will always aim to signpost you to relevant support services, but we are unable to offer direct support, individual casework or legal advice. This includes, but is not limited to immigration, housing and crisis services.⁠
⁠
Visit our website for our full directory of signposting services (link in bio). 💖⁠
⁠
We would like to remind all those affected that the Centre is open and welcoming as a space to relax and be with others during this difficult time. ⁠
⁠
Our opening hours are: ⁠
⁠
Mon-Tue: Closed for community bookings⁠
Wed: 11am-6pm (closed for Narcotics Anonymous from 7-8pm)⁠
Thu-Sat: 12-8pm⁠
Sun: 1-8pm⁠
⁠
We're sending our trans+ siblings loads of love.⁠
⁠
To join any upcoming Trans Socials and/or 50+ Trans and Non-Binary Group meetups at the Centre, head to the link in bio to book a free ticket.⁠

The upper half of the poster is bright blue, with the lower half in pink. Large yellow text reads ‘SUNDAY 30 AUGUST’ and ‘COMMUNITY FETE FUNDRAISER’. A string of pink and light-blue triangular bunting stretches across the poster beneath the main title, ending in decorative bows on either side. Abstract textured paint shapes appear around the edges, including pink and yellow marks at the top and red and purple marks near the bottom. In the centre of the lower section is a black hand and arrow illustration suggesting a swipe gesture. The London LGBTQ+ Community Centre logo appears below it in blue and pink.]
