King's Road, the swinging 60s? Vivienne Westwood pioneering punk fashion? One notable establishment in this enclave of history that's often forgotten about is Gateways, London's longest-surviving lesbian club. Alongside a host of its patrons over the years, Sandi Toksvig highlights the legacy of the club from its original owner, who won it in a poker game, to its blossoming into a hot-spot and safe space for lesbian life. From its signature green door to the risque dance move that gives this film its name, Gateways was a crucial part of London's queer history. In this charming and informative film, it's celebrated in all its glory.
