London's earliest hubs for the gay community granted Grade II-listed status

The Boltons, on Earls Court Road, has been added to the Historic England register in recognition of the pub's elaborate "Flemish Revival" style and interior features such as its staircase and upper floor guest rooms. Historic England also acknowledged the pub's role in the capital's LGBTQ+ history, including serving as a respite for gay people in the mid-1950s and being part of Earl’s Court’s thriving gay scene throughout the 1970s and 80s.
