La Camionera

the whole place was so cute! I loved the vibe and the outdoor space was so big! my girlfriend and I arrived around 1pm and we started off with a latter and matcha and shared a buttery banana bread! they were all so yummy, the staff is super attentive and kind. The bathroom is huge and clean! I especially loved when the place started getting a bit busier and you could feel the community that has been built up around the location!

The vibes and aesthetic of this bar is absolutely gorgeous - it’s perfect for a spot to chill in the evening and the staff were so friendly! The drinks are relatively reasonably priced for London and they have a small selection of cocktails too! I came for the singles night and whilst i loved the atmosphere, it was too busy to really hear people and would’ve been much better if the speed dating was organised with sheets of paper with peoples names and number on or if people had name tags, as it was really difficult to hear what people were saying and catch a vibe within 3 minutes, as well as remembering 20 or so people’s names. As the night went on as well it just kept getting busier, so a lot of people didn’t manage to get a seat or get involved in the speed dating. However, it definitely felt like a very safe space though and i’m aiming to come back soon!

Lovely place and amazing to have the space, really nice atmosphere! Such a shame that the acoustics in the place are awful, it’s so loud from people talking you cannot hear a thing! I tried the speed dating which was made very intense by everyone having to shout to be heard. I’m not a sound expert but I think it can be fixed with some panelling or something!

La Camionera and all the amazing crew have been and still are an important part of my healing journey. There was so much need for a place like this in London, dedicated to queer women which isn't a discotheque or a club. The place has the warm and ancient style of an old Spanish Tavern and the warm and welcoming care of all the crew makes it unique, I won't never be thankful enough for having me there even if coming in on my own reading a book and having a glass of wine. So thanks without end to Jade, Thea, Elias, Clara, Matilda, Alicia, Rain, (sorry if the names spelling might be wrong🙂), and all the rest of the crew which I don't know their name yet. You have a place in my heart.

super welcoming staff, me and my partner enjoyed a few drinks outside and the banana bread which was to die for! would definitely recommend for a queer welcoming atmosphere.

Really loved the vibe! The space is small but cozy and candlelit. There is a patio with outdoor seating as well.

I went to a speed dating event today. I think it’s great that these events are being held but it was very poorly run. I walked in and was met with an extremely high level of noise, people in the bar were shouting at each other and you could not hear people at normal speaking level. This created a bad atmosphere for dating and there was no opportunity to chill and have a drink while listening to music or have casual conversation because of the extreme noise (outside looked to be quieter). No one was at the door to greet me and everyone in the bar was locked into conversation and I couldn’t hear anything, it was very overwhelming to walk in by myself which should not be the case for a singles night. I had to find who I thought was the host and ask her what to do. She was not very welcoming, gave me vague instruction, and walked away. I was only there for two hours but it seemed to be only speed dating. It should be advertised as speed dating if that is the event because the label singles night gives a different impression. The speed dating itself was disorganised because nobody knew where to go when the 5 minutes was up. This caused confusion, I even witnessed a hostile interaction between two girls because one thought the other “jumped” the queue. Just not the best recipe for meeting new people and getting to know people romantically. I hate to write a bad review but I wouldn’t want someone else to go to an event and have the same experience I had. I’d love for the organisers to take on this feedback and improve the events because it would be great to come back and support what seems like a usually lovely bar

Lovely lesbian bar with friendly staff and a vibrant vibe- not so ideal for solo customers, as it's more of a chat-with-your-buddies type of place and gets pretty noisy. The hibiscus margarita and campari spritz was delightful, though. Would love to visit again with friends next time!
