The Joiners' Arms, London (with Mark Walton)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties - A podcast by lost queer spaces - Wednesdays
Who hasn't spent an evening stumbling out of The Joiners' Arms, which was once described as 'Britain's trendiest gay dive'? Due to its late night opening the bar had a reputation as a 'last chance saloon', and was often where people would head to instead of home when everything else had closed. I spoke to Mark Walton - a fantastic poet, and founder of social enterprise Shared Assets - about some of his fondest memories of frequenting the bar after he moved to London in the mid-00s.
