When people think of the UK, the first place they typically think of is London. They plan to make trips to Buckingham Palace, to take a ride on the London Eye, and take picture of themselves with Royal Guard. Those are all great things to do, but too many people forget about London's incredible hookup scene, and end up finishing their vacations without getting the most out of it. With our help, you will not suffer that same fate.

Back in the seventies, London was a hot spot for two things. It was where all of the big film studios had their offices. It was cheaper to shoot some movies in the United Kingdom than they were back home in the United States of America, and Hollywood wanted to make sure they saved every possible penny that they could. The other thing? London's dirty secret. The red light district of Soho. Soho's streets were full of sex workers and pornographic movie houses. The government decided to clean up the neighbourhood in the same way that New York cleaned up Times Square. Unlike New York though, the buildings ended up being purchased by gay business people who had been looking for an affordable spot where they might be able to open a business. Due to the reputation of the neighborhood, it meant that the spots were being sold and rented on the cheap.

Soon enough, Soho was revitalized and was full of young business owners from the LGBT community. The money being spent in the neighborhood was often referred to as "the pink pound". Since then, LGBTQ and sex-positive businesses have become far more prevalent, and the LGBTQ hookup scene remains one of the most interesting and entertaining parts of London.

Parts of London never sleep. It's very similar to New York in that way, and we encourage you to seek out hookups during the day. Even early morning if you're a morning person who hates that the majority of hookup culture happens at night. London may be the spot to help you find yourself having sex when your body has its most energy.

The nighttime is of course still the ruler of the hookup scene. In London though, the nighttime means going into the wee hours of the night, and probably not even sleeping before you go out again the next night, looking for your next taste of the London local hookup bar scene.

The best London hookup bars can be tricky to find if you don't know where to look. But ezhookups.com has created a directory of the best hookup spots. Even though we just told you that sleep has no place in London, we want to suggest in all earnestness that you should be sure to get a good night's rest whenever you can, because London will chew you up alive and spit you out if you don't. The moment someone senses that you're fading, they will turn around and find someone else who's able to stay up all night long.

If quiet spots are your preferred place of hookup, you're going to be very happy with these cool London bars that have a lot more to offer than your average local watering hole.

If ping pong and reading series are a little too mellow for your sexual needs, you can just skip those and head straight to the clubs. No problem. There's enough of both types of hookup spots in London to make everyone happy.

There are other swingers clubs in London, but we figure that if you were looking for swingers clubs, you would have searched for that. It's always good to have at least one swingers club in the mix just for variety if they're available though.
