Feel It is London’s Queer Super Party, a pop-up Friday Night-themed event setting the London gay scene on fire.
- Stay close to the club at the “superb” rated nHow London, featuring uniquely decorated rooms, delicious breakfasts and great location.
The Party
- Next Edition: Friday, October 16, 2026.
- The current edition takes over XOYO London from 10.30 pm to 6 am.
- Expect DJs, dancers, drag queens and surprise performances.
- Feel It attracts a mixed queer crowd with a strong gay male following.
- Music moves through house, electronic and club sounds rather than sticking to one formula.
- Each edition can introduce new DJs, performers and production.
- Last entry for the current edition is 3 am.
What to Expect
- Feel It has a looser, more fashion-forward character than London’s traditional circuit nights.
- The crowd mixes Shoreditch regulars, gay Londoners and international weekend visitors, with looks ranging from clubwear and streetwear to harnesses and considerably less.
- The emphasis is on music and the dance floor, punctuated by drag, dancers and performances rather than a rigid stage programme.
- Feel It is a pop-up, so check each edition separately. Venue, hours and line-up can change between parties.
The Venue – XOYO London
- The current edition takes over XOYO London at 32-37 Cowper Street, close to Old Street.
- XOYO is an established electronic music club with two principal public spaces.
- The Basement is the main room and has capacity for around 600 guests.
- The ground-floor Jungle provides a second space with its own sound and video setup.
- The club’s focus on electronic music makes it a natural match for Feel It’s DJ-led format.
- Old Street is the closest major transport hub.
- Shoreditch bars, restaurants and late-night venues are within easy reach.
- XOYO describes the rebuilt club as a space focused on forward-thinking sound, with the Basement and Jungle offering distinct environments.
Before Feel It – East London
- If you’re staying east, there are several queer venues worth visiting before heading to XOYO.
- The Nelson’s – Horatio Street, Bethnal Green. Independent queer pub with a neighbourhood feel, drinks, DJs and events. A better choice for conversation before the club gets serious. The Nelson’s
- The Queen Adelaide – Hackney Road. Queer East London pub with late-night DJs, drag and an irreverent crowd. It stays open late on Fridays, so watch the time if Feel It is your main event. The Queen Adelaide
- Dalston Superstore – Kingsland High Street. Queer bar, club and café with DJs and a basement dance floor. Pick it if you want your pre-party to feel like a party in its own right. Dalston Superstore
- The Divine – Stoke Newington Road. Queer cabaret and club venue with drag, DJs and performances. A good choice when its Friday programme fits your plans. The Divine
- If Feel It is the priority, keep the pre-party relatively simple. East London venues are spread out compared with Soho, so pick one rather than trying to cover Dalston, Bethnal Green and Shoreditch before XOYO.
Staying in Soho
- Soho remains the stronger base if you’re visiting London for several nights and want the largest concentration of gay bars within walking distance.
- Start around Old Compton Street before travelling east for Feel It.
- Useful options include Comptons of Soho, The Yard, Kings Arms and Ku Bar.
- For a longer London weekend, Soho gives you a broader gay scene during the rest of your stay. Shoreditch wins if Feel It and East London nightlife are the focus.
Where to Stay
- Choose Shoreditch for easy access to Feel It and East London nightlife. Pick Soho if you want London’s main concentration of gay bars nearby.
- art’otel London Hoxton – Contemporary high-rise hotel close to Old Street with bold interiors, city views, indoor pool and spa. The easiest upscale choice for XOYO.
- The Hoxton, Shoreditch – East London favourite with smart industrial-style rooms and a busy lobby and restaurant scene. Pick this if you want the neighbourhood to be part of the weekend.
- The Resident Soho – Boutique hotel in the heart of Soho, within walking distance of the main gay bars. A stronger base for visitors combining Feel It with a wider London weekend.
- The Londoner – Luxury option at Leicester Square with a pool, spa and excellent access to Soho and the West End.
Feel It Tips
- Treat Feel It as a pop-up and check the latest edition rather than assuming the venue remains the same.
- East London makes sense for drinks before the party if you’re already staying around Shoreditch.
- Soho works better for a full gay weekend with Feel It as one night of the trip.
- Arrive before the stated last-entry time attached to your ticket.
- Guest DJs and performers change between editions.
- Book advance tickets for the larger editions rather than relying on the door.
