If you're new to Southampton - welcome! Southampton has a brilliant LGBT scene, where students are welcomed along with locals.

Listed loves the London Hotel, Isobar and The Edge – three very different venues, each offering something special. The London Hotel, on Oxford Street, has a packed calendar of cabaret and laughter in a gorgeous traditional pub. They also serve delicious pub fayre. Isobar on St Mary's Street is chic and stylish, with regular DJs and themed nights, with super drinks offers to stretch your student loan that little bit further. When the bars close, the only place to be is The Edge - Southampton's only 5am licenced club, gorgeously refurbished, and with an inventive selection of party nights, including cabaret.
