For your first visit if you are not sure what to wear
I would recommend an LBD Little Black Dress with some well chosen accessories.
You will feel at home in this outfit though in truth there is NO dress code and visitors wear whatever makes them happy.
That is what it is all about.
There are a few very good ‘Dressing services’ near the club who can help you with everything you need or just a confident smile to help you make your visit.
CLICK HERE For a full list of ‘Dressing Help’
The best and safest way to visit is come on public transport
stay in a nearby hotel
short cab ride to and from venue
change and make-up in comfort
don’t worry about drink driving and have a great night … best booked on line in advance
GETTING HOME :
Late at night cabs are the ONLY safe way to travel – specially for a girl.
Have you Uber app ready. Always agree the price before you leave.

WHAT IS – what can I expect?
The club has regular “early birds”. The club steadily fills up from 9pm and by midnight you can expect 100 to 150
Our visitors include ‘boys girls and inbetweenies’ of ‘every age, race, culture, sexuality and gender’. The club “looks” fairly balanced male to female. But the majority of the “girls” are transgendered – t-girls, cross-dressers, transsexuals, lady boys.
Solo or together with their girlfriends, wives, partners. The “males’ include our Trans Allies (those that accept and help us – close friends, employers, family, boyfriends and would be boyfriends and husbands – Yes Husbands we have had over 10 marriages between our guys and gals) The “males’ also include men that DO cross-dress – but not in public. Over the years the regular guys who come to the club have got to know each other and this has created an even more friendly club. Guys coming alone can now expect to have a good chat with like thinking guys as well as girls.
I know that you may be plucking up courage to take the first visit to The WayOut Club but I assure you that ANY Saturday there are friendly regulars including me (Your Host) Vicky Lee and my life partner Lesley, and my WayOut team Don and Lisa, looking forward to welcoming you, and helping you, to feel at home and enjoy your night. I include in that assurance, most especially family, friends and partners.
The opportunity to visit The WayOut Club weekly since our foundation in 1993 has allowed many (1000’s) to make those first steps, to develop their dress style, confidence, social skills and networks. To explore their gender and sexuality. Since 1993 the whole tranny scene has become more confident. However I can assure you that, however awesome looking, confident looking, many of our WayOut regulars may look. None ever forget their early steps and most enjoy welcoming and helping others less confident.
Some of our visitors take long breaks and then return to renew their link to the club. Others, including me, Vicky Lee, hardly ever miss a night at the club. Some, have over this time transitioned from male to full time female. Some, have found at the club partners both male and female. Some have in this time married (we have even hosted wedding receptions at the club). Many have made firm friendships meeting their new friends outside the club developing a fulfilling transgender lifestyle. Many have enjoyed the contests and opportunities to perform and some have become more regular entertainers at the club or gone on to entertain or enter other contests outside the club.
We all love to chat
Remember that for most visitors, the opportunity to openly talk about all the tranny things that interest them, rarely exists outside the club. That is why everybody loves to chat and why we provide a quieter place to chat. Everyone in the club has an interest in transgender and that what brings us together but with people from every background and from all round the world the chat can also be very exciting. We love to meet couples. We love to meet friends and family. We love to meet the guys who (these days) are generally more confident and better informed about the scene (bless the internet). We love people that want to meet and chat with trans girls.
On any visit you will find 60% of our guests are Transgendered and always include (though we do not encourage labels) part time and regular TVs, Transvestites, Cross Dressers, T Girls, She Males, Lady Boys, Drag Queens and some of the most gorgeous pre and post op Transsexuals, Trans-Women from all around the world.
Every age, Race, Culture, Sexuality and GENDER
Visitors from overseas, working in the UK, on vacation, or business trip make a bee line to The WayOut Club. Lady boy nurses from the Philippines are regulars. Students studying photography, journalism, sociology and anthropology, often visit the club to meet our ‘girls’ to get help with their college projects. Researchers from television companies and film companies come to the club to meet people and research ideas for new programs. Over the years we have helped with many casting sessions and program ideas. I know from these visitors who consistently tell me, there is no other club like WayOut in the world and certainly none embracing such diversity in such a relaxed and friendly way. I will take a small amount of praise for this fact but know that it is all those that visit the club that create and preserve the amazing phenomena that is WayOut.
Guys and Girls (as well as) Inbetweenies
We always welcome respectful Guys and Girls who want to share the atmosphere of the WayOut Club. Many brave the nerves and come alone. However we especially like meeting girlfriends (boyfriends), partners wives who come with their trans friend or partner.

Many guys have a healthy interest in meeting Tgirls. WayOut is a great place to meet T-Girls as there are probably more at WayOut than any other club in the world. Many people have made good friendships at the club. (sex in the club is not allowed – get a room

The WayOut Club – Award winning, transgender nightclub
It is no wonder then that The WayOut Club was awarded one of the first ‘Sparkle’ TG awards for, ‘Best Transgender Club’. However what really thrilled me was when Leah True who organised the awards told me that when the voting at sparkle.org was opened that The WayOut Club leapt into the lead. I was even more thrilled to hear that the votes came, not just from the UK, but also from countries all around the world reflecting the breadth of our visitors over the years since 1993. When I am talking with those that are the most hard working, influential, role models and creative trannies I am always happy to be reminded that so many of these wonderful people took their first steps at The WayOut Club.

Music with resident DJ – Gary Baldi
Hi Inbetweenies, DJ Gary Baldi here. From me you can be sure of a little bit of this and a little bit of that and if your lucky enough, a bit of the other (music wise that is). I play a mixture of house including, funky house, electro house, tech house, remixed classics and even a sprinkle of R&B. You’re guaranteed a mega dance session with all your favourites. Come and say hello, I don’t bite, only if you ask me too! All requests are considered and if I don’t have it, I will do my best to get it for you, after all you’re the people that matter. If the dance floor is pumping then I am happy. The WayOut club is the best place to be whoever you want to be, with a diverse crowd and an electric atmosphere; you can let your hair down and have a great night without fear of being judged (and I love every minute of it). See you on the dance floor x
