Plot

King's Road evokes images of the vibrant swinging 60s and Vivienne Westwood's punk fashion revolution. Yet, one gem often overlooked is Gateways, London's oldest lesbian club. Sandi Toksvig delves into its rich history, starting from its acquisition via a poker game to its evolution as a beloved sanctuary for the lesbian community. With its iconic green door and a cheeky dance move that inspired the film's title, Gateways has played a pivotal role in shaping London's queer heritage. This delightful documentary shines a light on the club's enduring significance and vibrant legacy.
