Belinda Carlisle knew what she was on about when she sang Heaven is a place on earth - it's right next to Charing Cross tube, and it's probably London's best-known gay club. As with most popular gay venues, large crowds of straight tourists abound - Heaven has tried to curb this by designating different nights as straight, gay or mixed, but it hasn't really worked. Not that it matters at all, because Heaven is still a blissful venue which puts on a huge variety of club nights - Mondays is Popcorn, which starts off as 70s and 80s cheese and ends with hard house, Wednesdays is more chilled out with soul music, and weekends are just plain hectic. The lounge upstairs provides a bit of friendly chill-out to a golden oldies atmosphere and you can actually talk in here without shouting. It all makes for an interesting and entertaining clubbing experience.
