Comptons of Soho The Grande Dame of Old Compton Street
(410)

The Grande Dame of Old Compton Street, built on the site of the 200-year-old Swiss Hotel,
Compton's has been at the epicentre of the gay scene since 1986. A welcoming beacon through the tough times of the late 80s and 90s, Compton's became famous for the throngs of gay men drinking on the street outside the venue. Now one of London’s most-celebrated LGBTQIA+ venues, Compton's remains the steadfast heart of gay Soho and will be standing proud for many years to come.

Bear Pride starts TONIGHT, and Alex Eugenio has done it again… kicking off the weekend with a big, bold and beautifully furry ballroom-style party at Comptons! ✨

Expect big chunks of Latin House, tight grooves of Disco and plenty of Vogue riffs to get those paws in the air and hips moving. 🔥

It’s going to be BIG.
It’s going to be HAIRY.
And it’s definitely going to get SWEATY. 🥵🐻

Come start your Bear Pride weekend the only way we know how — loud, proud and dancing in Soho. 🪩✨

THEY ONLY WENT AND BLOODY DID IT! 👏🔥

Today, our absolute legends from Comptons took on the walk — and smashed it. 💪🏳️‍🌈

Sore feet? Probably.
Tired legs? Almost definitely.
Worth every single step? You bet.

Because together they’ve raised an absolutely incredible £12,000 for CALM. ❤️

We could not be prouder of this bunch — or more grateful to every single person who donated, shared, supported and cheered them on along the way.

£12K. Twelve. Bloody. Grand.

That’s what happens when our community gets behind something that matters.

To the team: you smashed it. Now get those feet up — you’ve bloody earned it. 🍻

COMPTONS DOES CALM. DONE. 💥
