A data-first guide to London, United Kingdom for LGBTQ+ buyers, renters and people relocating: housing costs, legal protections, community venues, climate and daily life. Every figure carries a numbered source and a retrieval date.
Venues, centers, health and social services and Pride events tagged as LGBTQ+ in OpenStreetMap and Wikidata. Both are volunteer-maintained, so treat this as a starting point.
Faded markers use the coordinate of the place a record is located in, not its own. The 40 numbered markers match the list below. No map tiles are used; no boundary is drawn because we have no outline source for this place.

Property law in the United Kingdom differs between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For the current legal position on discrimination in housing, read the Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance. Unverified summary with no source cited. Confirm current rules with local counsel before you act.
Flats are often leasehold, so lease length, ground rent and service charges matter as much as price.
Stamp duty applies to most purchases, and non-residents may pay a surcharge. Confirm current rates with a solicitor.
A solicitor or licensed conveyancer handles the legal work between offer and completion.
