Gateways Grind

What do you picture when you think of Kings Road? The swinging 60s? Vivienne Westwood pioneering punk fashion? One notable establishment in this enclave of history thats often forgotten about is Gateways, Londons longest-surviving lesbian club. Alongside a host of its patrons over the years, Sandi Toksvig highlights the legacy of the club from its original owner, who won it in a poker game, to its blossoming into a hotspot and safe space for lesbian life. From its signature green door to the risqué dance move that gives this film its name, Gateways was a crucial part of Londons queer history. In this charming and informative film, its celebrated in all its glory.
