The Backstreet
2024, 29′
In July 2022 the iconic gay club “The Backstreet” closed after 37 years.
Found in a small street in the London borough of Tower Hamlets, with no sign and only a black entrance door the club has maintained a very discreet presence over the years. Despite this The Backstreet has been at the forefront of the leatherman subculture in Europe and became a second home for a community of men of all ages.
