Camden's queer
constellation — five years
in the making.
ZODIAC was founded in July 2020 by Jade Phoenix Hoskins — Lady Phoenix, a Trans woman and entrepreneur. She looked at Camden and saw a space the community needed but didn't fully have. A home. Not just a bar.
The permanent venue opened on 5th November 2021 at 119 Hampstead Road. What followed was five years of Trans Pride events, drag cabarets, community nights, and the kind of Saturday evenings people still talk about. Through a pandemic. Through financial pressure no independent venue should have to carry alone. Through every reason that could have closed those doors.
ZODIAC stayed open. Open. Trading. Fighting.
The community showed up. Over £300,000 raised for LGBTQ+ causes. Hundreds of events. Thousands of people who came through those doors and called it theirs.
On 9th May 2026, the doors opened at noon. The community came home. This wasn't a launch. It was a return. ZODIAC is open. Come in.
