La Monocle is a South London–based Lesbian & FLINTA* pop-up bar inspired by the historic Le Monocle of 1920s Paris. Rooted in queer history and community-building, La Monocle exists to create joyful, affirming, and culturally rich spaces for the Queer & Lesbian community in South London.
La Monocle is entirely volunteer-run, with our team dedicating their time, labour, and skills to building La Monocle into a permanent venue. Our mission for now is to take over non-queer venues and transform them into spaces for us: creating temporary havens of Queer & Lesbian nightlife across South London. Each pop-up reclaims space, builds visibility, and directly funds a permanent community café by day and bar by night.
You can support La Monocle by attending events, donating via our ticket pages, contributing through our Ko-fi on our Linktree, or privately requesting larger donation amounts or investment opportunities by emailing contact@lamonocle.co.uk.
By supporting La Monocle, you are helping to build a lasting, community-rooted venue for Lesbian & FLINTA people in South London.
