The Queen Adelaide is an LGBTQ+ pub and nightclub in Hackney, London. The pub has existed since at least 1834.[1] Its current incarnation as an LGBTQ+ venue began in 2015 when the George and Dragon gay pub in Shoreditch closed, and the owners moved many of its furnishings to the Queen Adelaide venue on Hackney Road.[2]
The pub's name changed to The Hop Picker by 1983, and was later Tantrums, Images, and Keelys before being renamed The Queen Adelaide.[3]
In 2019 GQ Magazine described the venue as “the last survivor of a long dynasty of London gay bars”.[4]
