Gateways Grind
Synopsis
What do you picture when you think of Kingâs Road? The swinging 60s? Vivienne Westwood pioneering punk fashion? One notable establishment in this enclave of history thatâs often forgotten about is Gateways, Londonâs longest-surviving lesbian club. Alongside a host of its patrons over the years, Sandi Toksvig highlights the legacy of the club from its original owner, who won it in a poker game, to its blossoming into a hotspot and safe space for lesbian life. From its signature green door to the risquĂ© dance move that gives this film its name, Gateways was a crucial part of Londonâs queer history. In this charming and informative film, itâs celebrated in all its glory.
