The former illustrator of Britain's pioneering fortnightly newspaper Gay News Tony Reeves shares his memories of the famous Coleherne pub and the gay scene in and around Earl's Court in west London between the late 1960s and early 1980s. Other pubs include the Boltons and Copas that he discusses.

He also talks about the regular police harassment by the police of customers at the Coleherne and even the attitudes of some of its customers towards gay pride marches. He also remembers the managers Pat and Breda and how he was once arrested by the police for being with his partner at the time.

Tony touches upon how it was used as a base for serial killers such as Dennis Nilsen to pick up their victims and how celebrities such as comedian Kenny Everett, ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, singer Freddie Mercury, actor Ian Charleson and figure skater John Curry would frequent the pub.
