ImInHeels Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I was recently in London for 10 days (i didn't see any daylight, i was on a course in a hotel, lasting 16+ hours a day, even on the weekend). The whole time i was there i was thinking it would be a great place to go public daylight heeling for my first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Iminheels:-) From what I have read here, you should have a ball of a time heeling in London and we have a great many members living and heeling around the london area. Maybe you can hook up with some of them and make friends. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Nicky Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 You will have a great time and, in my experience, no hassle. Earls Court area is particularly good for friendly, like-minded people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnsofheels Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Greetings, I am building a interest in going to London to see and experience the likes of which you written about. I will do a post to source more locations and suggestions about where to go and stay. Thanks for the information. Mtnsofheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm thinking of taking a short break to london and going out in my heels all day. Good idea or bad? Hi, Where are you from in Uk? What kind of clothes do you wear with your heels? Where in London were you thinking of hanging out? I'm only asking because like any big city there are areas where I wouldn't want to go whilst wearing a t shirt, trainers and jeans, let alone heels! I would recommend Oxford St and Soho, the posher end of Notting Hill or around Brick Lane in East London. It's also worth considering coming down to Brighton (where I live) as the town is full of Hippies, Electro kids and Trannys. Good luck, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loswabs Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm thinking of taking a short break to london and going out in my heels all day. Good idea or bad? Places where I've worn 4" heels and felt totally safe are Oxford Street, Kings Road Chelsea, Camden Market, Carnaby Street, Bond Street, Covent Garden, Knightsbridge (I gave Harrods a miss as they have a dress code and I didn't want to be barred for wearing heels), Bond Street, South Kensignton. Basically, anywhere there may be "money" as you're less likely to be confronted by a meathead. I'd avoid Bermondsey, especially if Millwall are at home Good luck and enjoy the thrill.

benno Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hiya Ben Do you have any clubs or bars which you could recommend for guys in heels, not necessarily fully TV? Thanx Hi Loswabs, Make sure you dress in a laid back but midblowingly integrated way. Don't just focus on your shoes. It depends mostly on the type of night being put on by the club. I'd say the best bet would be the Hanbury, Komedia, Audio or one of the many gay/mixed bars in Kemptown. Dynamite Boogaloo actively encourages craziness in it's night's. The Eagle Pub is great too. Also try Margot's parties. They are amazing and always have great themes. AVOID West Street!!!!!!! Good luck, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully later on this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelD Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I went round Harrods in stiletto thigh boots on the outside of back zip leather jeans as male clothing and no one said a word...Indeed. Considering the place is generally full of tourists dressed in....well...their tourist gear, some guy in heels is hardly going to get thrown out. I think the dress code thing is an urban myth caused by a tabloid story a few years ago about when someone was turned away from Harrods for wearing ripped jeans. If they did have a dress code, they don't use it now. They let anyone into Harrods now. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
