The first tourist office dedicated to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) markets will open in London this week.
The Gay Tourist Office will open on Thursday (October 22) in 30 Lisle Street, London, and provide visitors with LGBT-specific information about the capital, as well as more general information.
Visitors will also be able to book tickets for events and activities at the centre.
Centre director Shaun Newport said: “Whether you have been here a lifetime, or have just stepped off the tube for the first time, we will give you a advice on getting around.
“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.”
