Travis Alabanza reminisces about The Royal Vauxhall Tavern
... Around 2015, I lived near The Royal Vauxhall Tavern on Kennington Lane in Vauxhall. It was around the time that I first started performing in London. I basically lived at the Tavern – I was either there working or watching performances. ...
... My career grew while living near Kennington Lane. The Tavern is the only venue in London where I’ve performed so often over the years you can see my growth as an artist.
If you know your queer history, you can throw a penny from Kennington
Lane and probably hit a legend. The Tavern is the oldest LGBTQ+ venue
in the country and there have been some amazing performers there. Doing

was really foundational for me. Long live The Royal Vauxhall Tavern! ...
