Relics of a lost gay leather and fetish bar
Between and , if you strolled down a certain unassuming, graffiti-splattered alley in East London, you would arrive at an unmarked door to the city’s longest-running gay leather and fetish bar, The Backstreet.
John Edwards, 70, founded and ran the club for 37 years. In , his confidant Mark Allnutt, 44, joined him functional behind the bar. The dress code was strictly enforced. To get in, you had to be wearing, or be about to change into, entire leather or rubber. If it was your first moment, you’d be allowed to rifle through “The Box” of unclaimed lost property to assemble a suitable look.

RECOMMENDED: Store the party going at London's best LGBTQ+ clubs.
