We’re wishing a very happy birthday to Exilio, which turned 19 last month! The longest-running LGBT Latin dance club in London launched at Latimer Road in 1996, and has since become a linchpin of the capital’s scene. Promoter Gloria Lizcano said: “This is my baby and I am very proud to say that Exilio is now a young adult. Emilio started in 1996 because there was simply nothing for the LGBT Latin community, except the Latin clubs where we could not dance with the same sex, as we would be discriminated against.” Now going strong at Guy’s Bar in London Bridge, Gloria hopes there will be many more birthdays to come. “We look forward to serving the Latin LGBT community for many more years,” she says.
