KU Bar & Klub stands as one of London's most iconic and popular gay venues, situated in the heart of Chinatown just steps away from Leicester Square.

The main ground floor features walls of flat-screen TVs displaying chart-topping music videos, while the bar staff are known for their visual appeal and friendly service.
The basement houses KU Klub, a vibrant dance club featuring DJs performing seven nights a week. Entry is free except on Fridays and Saturdays after 11pm, when a modest £5 charge applies. The venue is celebrated for its affordable drinks, inclusive atmosphere, and exceptional service. Regular drag performances and an exclusive Champagne Bar add to the experience. Open daily until 3am on weekdays and weekends, with Sunday closing at midnight, KU Bar & Klub remains a cornerstone of London's gay nightlife scene.
