About The Lord Clyde

The Lord Clyde is a men-only gay cruise and events bar on Wotton Road in Deptford. Reopened after a period of closure, it combines the social feel of a small local pub upstairs with a more explicitly adult cruising area in the basement. Different nights come with different themes, dress expectations and levels of intensity, including fetish, underwear, naked and bear-focused sessions. The ground-floor bar gives visitors somewhere to talk and settle in before deciding whether to explore further. Its south-east London location also offers an alternative to the central cruise venues around Soho and Old Street. Entry is charged and the weekly programme can change, so check Instagram before travelling. Bring valid photo ID, follow the stated dress code and respect consent, privacy and house rules.

What to expect

Expect a friendly social bar upstairs and an adults-only cruise environment below. The crowd and dress code depend on the event.

I recently attended this pub for their open house event where they open the doors to any gender and sexualities. The place is like the tardis loads of space inside for socialising and a few private areas for more. The bar is well stocked and not expensive and the staff were efficient and friendly. The event was well attended with a good mix of all genders definitely a place I would recommend. A great first visit and not my last

It’s a shame, because this place had the potential to replace other bars and clubs in London. The Lord Clyde has a reputation for being filthy, low‑class, and badly decorated. Everything is mismatched, so you don’t even know where you are. It looks like a cheap 80s disco, with horrible TV screens showing movies nobody wants to watch, disco lights, hangers, boxes, and clutter everywhere. Paint is peeling, the walls are damp, and it all feels cheap and tacky. Inside, it lacks cleanliness, cohesion, and even feels unsafe, with cables and extension cords everywhere and a horrific basement that is cold and messy. Very dirty place, unsafe, with no style or cleanliness. Electric cords and dirty furniture are everywhere, and there is no security at the door.
