Ted has now been running his club since 1990 and it is a firmly established venue for T girls and their admirers every Thursday night. He also runs a more chilled out evening on Sundays and Mondays.

Thursday night is well known by the established community but there may be many newcomers who are unaware of one of the premier meeting places in London.
I wrote an article a few years ago on Teds Place for a magazine and append a slightly amended version below so that you can get the flavour of the evening.

TED’S PLACE

Hidden away in Fulham, west London, is one of the scene’s best known bars.
Walking down the North End Road, you won’t see flashing lights and bouncers outside the door of one of the oldest venues for trans people. In fact, you could walk past the entrance without knowing it was there. For those in the know, there is a big sign in the window in red proclaiming:-

OPEN
305

Described as the ‘Friendliest Place in town’ it provides a unique meeting place for T girls, friends and admirers every Thursday night from 7 pm to last orders at 2.00 am.
The staff are wonderfully friendly and you are warmly welcomed by Ted,
who will invariably greet you with ‘Hi Babe. How’re doing?’
The club is in the basement and is a blend of bar and disco with music mixed by resident DJ Dennis (who also DJ’d at Ron Storme’s club in Stepney).
The club started in 1945 and was originally run by Ted’s uncle as The Sports Supporter’s Club, through to 1990, when it closed. If it hadn’t been for a chance remark by Ted’s mother, as they were walking past, that the premises were empty, the Club as we know it would never have evolved.
Ted had been running the bar and functions at The Hurlingham Club, in Fulham, and decided that he had the right experience for taking number 305 on. Ted’s Place was born. It ran as a general bar until 1992, when it became a women only club (Fannies), which won the Women’s Best Bar Award in the Pink paper for two years running.
Along with the regular evenings, there were Blind Date and Karaoke nights and Ted found that a number of T girls were coming along. He tells me that he had read an article in the Beaumont Society magazine and decided to start advertising in Time Out Thursday and Saturday nights for T girls and their friends. On Saturdays he arranged cabaret, with well known artists, such as Dave Lynn. This was about fifteen years ago but because of pressures on Ted’s personal time and the fact that other clubs provided venues on the Saturday night, the Club is closed Saturdays, apart from occasional special events.
It is possible that Ted could proclaim the Club to be by Royal Appointment. The story goes that one evening four young men arrived wearing male garb but faces made up as girls. One or two of the patrons thought they recognised one of the heirs to the throne and later they were spotted being whisked away in a car bearing HRH.
In fact Ted’s is host to many Queens and Kings if you think about it, so no big deal.
Ted’s has visitors from all over the world and caters for all T girls at whatever stage they are at. There are changing facilities in the loos but you must get there at opening time before the rush starts and I warn you it is very cramped.

Sunday, December 1, 2024

Open from 7pm to 2am

The club opens at 7.00pm and closes at 2.00am.

Entry £6.00

There is a great bar and a netted off area with a swing for those who want to play.

Ted is running a cool night for T Girls and Admirers every Sunday. This to give an extra venue following the closing of the Philbeach Hotel in January 2008. Gosh! Is it that long ago.
You can park on single yellow lines on Sundays but do read the notices on parking just to be on the safe side.

Monday, December 2, 2024

Open from 7pm to Midnight

By popular demand, Ted is opening the club on Monday nights again for allcomers.

Entrance for girls is free and £6.00 for boys.

The club caters for all LGBTQ+ so the more the merrier.

The netting will be up along with a swing for those who want to play but if not there is plenty of room at the bar with Ted as your host.

Teds Place - Fulham (Sunday, November 17, 2024) Value for Money: Venue: Atmosphere: Staff Friendliness: Security:
An excellent evening as usual at one of London's best venues. Ted is an amazing host and always makes you feel very welcome. Place was buzzing, a lot busier than normal, certainly much busier than any other time I have been on a Sunday, which gave me the opportunity to meet some lovely new friends. The guys weren't shy either and some sexy fun was had in the playroom. Can't wait for my next chance to visit.

Monday is super nice at Ted`s Not busy at all, and that is what makes it so nice. It is like having a local pub, for Crossdressers. Easy to talk to people. Ted behind the bar is a super host. Would really recommend Mondays at Ted`s. Perfect for everyone from the novice beginner to the experienced dresser.

Ted`s is nice. This was a Sunday and very busy. Lots a guests of all genders. For me as not a regular, it was almost too busy. The music is load, most other guests know others attending, so it is a bit difficult to make contact. Still had a nice night. Talked to some, a bit of play behind the curtains. Great place.
