No visit to Southampton is complete without dropping in on The London for some smiles amongst friends, and there's often live cabaret if you time it right. The venue is deceptively large, with plenty of room for drinking and chatting and pool-playing around the back of the bar, and lots of room to watch the cabaret around the front...

Tonight's star of The London stage was Sandra - someone we've caught up with a few times this year at Brighton Pride and Sitges Pride... with her close-to-the-bone humour, songs and the inevitable audience participation (what were you thinking sitting so close to the stage, guys?!), the crowd lapped it up as always.
