UK’s first gay tourist office opens in London’s Soho

By Sarah Gordon – The Daily Mail

The first centre dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) visitors started operating in London this week.

The Gay Tourist Office opened in the city’s Soho district yesterday to provide visitors with LGBT-specific information about the capital.

Both visitors and Britons will also be able to book tickets for London events and activities at the centre.

As well as the latest on gay London, the office will provide general tourist information on London and support LGBT work around the country.

‘Whether you have been here a lifetime, or have just stepped off the tube for the first time, we will give you advice on getting around,’ said centre director Shaun Newport.

We want to show that London’s exciting LGBT life is the best in the world. We will show off what our city has to offer to local, national and international visitors, as well as to Londoners old and new.

‘The community has responded enthusiastically, lauding the centre’s arrival. We have been too long without one.’
