Let's Never Forget That England Women's Football Came From Grassroots, Queer Communities

Baller FC

Clubs United is an inclusive league. They run regular 10-12 week long seasons and it’s a friendly, welcoming community who make football really accessible whether you’re new to the game or a more experienced player.

The Volley is a great spot to watch any football and is the home of Baller FC’s Champions League watch parties. With big screens and booths that seat 6 – 8 fans, the team at The Volley are open to showing any game you want to watch. 

This East London club is 100% fan owned and fan run. It has a hugely passionate supporters club who turn out in droves to cheer on the women’s and the men’s team. We love a Sunday at The Old Spotted Dog, £5 in, a pint, street food, great football and quite often DJs in the clubhouse after. 

The pride of South London who play in the infamous pink and blue. Another lower league club with a fervent supporter’s group – iconically named ‘The Pepper Army’. Sunday’s spent watching the women’s team are a staple fixture in our calendar. 

Debuting in September 2025, this is a new inclusive league in south London, hosted in Dulwich. Sign up as a team or as an individual. 

Non-competitive and community kickabouts held on Hackney Downs (Sundays) and in Victoria Park (Wednesdays). All about the fun and the vibes. For queer, trans men and women, intersex and non-binary people)

Hosted by one of the biggest grassroots teams in London, Goaldiggers FC, this legendary club night happens every quarter. It’s an opportunity for you to get together for your team and probably snog one of the opposition. 

Inclusive, non competitive football – they don’t even keep score. It’s all about having fun, making new friends and learning new football skills.

Pop up stall that can be found at the weekly Saturday market selling footy book, magazine, fanzines, vintage scarves from across Europe and more. 

There is no better place to experience professional women’s football than at the home of Arsenal FC. Not only the Champions of Europe but a team stacked with Lionesses. Come celebrate and cheer on Leah, Alessia, Beth, Lotte and the saviours of a nation – Michelle and Chloe.

Durban

This is a cultural hub spot more than it is a club but it's played a very important role with creatives in KZN. It is based in Durban and I don't think there's an artist I know (musically and visually) who hasn't passed/been through there in some way shape or form. It's like a rite of passage.

This is a club in Durban that arguably brings the most eclectic crowd and has hosted some of the best Gqom parties I've ever been to. I've also done a show here, even though I'm an alternative artist and people still packed it out. Very supportive of multi-genre music.

Founded by an artist called Aewon Wolf, the Werehouse took from what Bat Centre built and sort of became a new-age hub on its own. As much as it's a club, there's also a skatepark there and it somehow held true to the nature of the creative spirit that roams in Durban/KZN.

This is a soccer stadium but there's been amazing concerts here also. Black Coffee did his orchestral show here and also his MUSIC IS KING concert. Also this is where most international artists perform when they are playing in Durban.

This is a strip in Durban that used to have a lot of clubs, even though now its just mostly has restaurants. When hiphop and the alternative scene starting booming in Durban, 2014/2015, this is where most artists would perform and it helped grow the industry.

The Marshes in Hackney are big, beautiful, green and diverse. It's the best spot for dog walking, running, playing football, picnics, forest raves, Summer bevvies, right by the canal, it's the best.

Ten87 Studios at the High Cross Centre in Tottenham is where I make music. The best place to create and get the job done!

This isn't the most obvious choice of pub for a lot of people, but I like it because it's a central spot for a lot of my pals and community. It's close to a lot and you're bound to see one of your pals if you pop in for a pint. 

The Haggerston area on the canal is precious to me because it's where some of my family live on boats. My Dad is a boat builder so I've grown up in and around boats and on the water.

It's the best club in London right now, enough said.

Great spot for listening to records, great DJs and drinks and socialising. I've thrown two EP launch parties here. Lovely spot, great DJ booth too, one of my favourites.

My local football stadium, my second team after Arsenal, great classic burger van burger at half time, UP THE ORIENT!

Kingsland High Street, home of my current favourite Turkish wrap. My order is the chicken shish, all the trimmings, extra pickled chillies, garlic sauce, chilli sauce.

Currently my favourite restaurant in London, really great space tucked away and I’m not joking when I say I want everything on the menu every time. Great cocktails too.

Wekaforé

Barcelona

Home of Barcelona football club. The past few times I've gone to see them has been ridiculous because they're too good. During the day it's packed and there are thousands of people on the streets

There’s a museum up the stairs which is cool. If you go running at night time up to the Montjuic there’s the Olympic stadium, which was renovated in 1989 for the Barcelona Olympics. It’s quiet and it's beautiful.

Twice a week, a select few people are invited to partake in an Egosex rehearsal in their studio in Poblenou. The band classifies their music as ‘Jungle Trance Blues’ and is best when heard live

A place for all the young fashion designers in Barcelona trying to realise their ideas. Martin and his team are the most passionate and down to earth catalysts in the city behind the curtains

Birmingham

Domdines is my favourite Jamaican breakfast spot in the city. Ask for a lady named Verla!

Bings is the best yard food shop in the UK! I recommend the Stew Chicken

I used to play football there when I was younger. If you play football and you’re from Birmingham, then you’ve definitely played there.

If you’re single in the Summer, you won’t be disappointed!

Bru-C

Nottingham 

Has to be first, purely due to the history. Robin Hood, the history of many kings, hella corruption and hella rebellion, bun the government and all that.


You need to go to Stealth, the best nightclub in Nottingham. Great for a little party, little shoobs, little knees up. Bubbling Tuesdays, D&B every Tuesday, that's my event by the way - cheeky plug.


In the Heart of Hockley, which is like the shoreditch of Nottingham, super creative place. Cool cinema that shows alot of independent films, you can also order a full meal and a bottle of wine into the cinema. Like what's better than eating chips and getting steaming whilst watching your favourite foreign film?


Obviously. Not that you'll get a ticket cos we're in the prem now, but if you get a chance mate shout up the reds at the river Trent.

It's full of skateboarders and mandem drinking beers in the middle of the day. It's just an experience, do you know what I mean? Sometimes you've gotta take the rough with the smooth.


Actually technically Derbyshire, but it's an NG10 postcode so that's what I've been telling people my whole life  - you know what I'm saying? It's the ends man, it's where I grew up - there isn't a lot going on there to be honest, but go check it out man. It's a strange and wonderful place.

Go to Suede Pizza, bad boy pizza - actual levels and the owner is a G.

The final place to visit in Nottingham is the Brian Clough statue on the market square. Living legend from Nottingham. If you don't know about Brian Clough you don't know about Nottingham.

Montreal

It's pretty cool it’s not got any fuck tax. (Fuck tax is like when you go to a place and the décor is really irritating and fancy and you’re paying for something you don’t need. I think my friend made it up)

I watched most of the world cup here. You get free popcorn and they have a half decent Aperol spritz, plus they’re really nice to you if you speak English to them, so that’s pleasant.

Citizen Boy

This is where Gqom was born, it’s literally the home of Gqom. It’s an amazing place to have fun with friends for a night out!

They got the best shisanyama, good music and as a bonus, it’s a carwash. Shisanyama is a place where they sell barbecued meat, what’s really good about that place is that you get to party, be full at the same time and get your car cleaned.

One of the best places to be in the summer, if you love beach parties this is the place to be in the summer. uShaka Marine has the largest aquarium in the Southern Hemisphere, if you love the aquarium this is the best place to be.

This stadium is used for many things but mainly for football but I love it when events are held there, especially the year end party called Fact Durban Rocks (FDR), it’s usually hosted by Afrotainment, DJ Tira’s entertainment company.

This is also an amazing place to learn about our culture. If you want to know Zulu and other African cultures this is the place to be.

Black-Owned Businesses in London

Verraco

Medellin

Salón Málaga is a long-lived bar full of history and oldster local music. It's perfect to get a taste of what the old city used to be, while you drink some aguardientes (schnapps). This place is downtown so then take the opportunity to go through it.

Easily the best place in the Aburrá Valley to eat typical Medellín food. It’s hardcore, watch out.

If you are looking for proper local heavy sweaty ‘bellaqueo’, this is paradise. My favorite reggaeton club in town. Berlin has Berghain, but Medellín has Perro Negro.

In addition to having a fresh program, movies, installations, and restaurants, hanging around the Medellín Modern Art Museum is pure bliss.

A small taste of Colombia's vast biodiversity. Don't miss out on the ‘Mariposario’. It is located right next to the aquarium (also don’t miss there the Amazonas king: the Pirarucú) and the planetarium.

As a teenager, football was my whole life and it allowed me to get out of my neighborhood and discover the city in depth. I have a lot of memories of this field, especially when it was made of sand and not synthetic grass. If you like the game and want to get out of the ordinary-tourist common places, here you will find high football matches to watch while feeling Medellín’s real heat.

This is one of the few electronic music clubs left in the city. There we have had memorable parties, especially the Medellin Rave Society — Insurgentes showcase back in 2018.
