The WayOut Club is a nightclub venue in Minories, London. Formed in 1993, it is one of London's best known transgender venues and was the first to hold a regular Saturday night event. The WayOut Club was founded in 1993 by Vicky Lee and Steffan Whitfield. In 2008 the club won an online people's vote award from transgender charity Sparkle for "Best Transgender Nightclub". The club moved from venue to venue around London seven times before settling at Charlie's in Crosswall (off Minories) in the City of London in 1998, where it remained for 15 years. In June 2012 Charlie's had to close and the club moved using two venues on the same block; 33 Minories and 2 Crutched Friars. The reason for using two venues was due to availability of Saturday dates at short notice. After Abbey gave up its Saturday late licence Lee took the club to Gilt in Crutched Friars. This venue changed management and again the club moved, this time to two venues The Minories and Mary Janes both in Minories. The club is now settled at The Minories for the foreseeable future.The WayOut Club's performances were led by female impersonator Steffan Whitfield, until his death from cancer in 2005. His stage partner and co-founder of the club, trans woman Vicky Lee, took over his duties. The WayOut Club has been a breeding ground for transgender and drag talent. The club has held talent searches and offers a guest spot before the booked show to anyone who has a talent to share. Many of those that have taken up this offer have gone on to perform regularly at WayOut and other venues.

The Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond, also known as Trinity House (and formally as The Master, Wardens and Assistants of the Guild Fraternity or Brotherhood of the most glorious and undivided Trinity and of St Clement in the Parish of Deptford Strond in the County of Kent), is the official authority for lighthouses in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar. Trinity House is also responsible for the provision and maintenance of other navigational aids, such as lightvessels, buoys, and maritime radio/satellite communication systems. It is also an official deep sea pilotage authority, providing expert navigators for ships trading in Northern European waters. Trinity House is also a maritime charity, disbursing funds for the welfare of retired seamen, the training of young cadets and the promotion of safety at sea; for the financial year ending in March 2013 it spent approximately £6.5 million in furtherance of its charitable objectives. Funding for the work of the lighthouse service comes from "light dues" levied on commercial vessels calling at ports in the British Isles, based on the net registered tonnage of the vessel. The rate is set by the Department for Transport, and annually reviewed. Funding for the maritime charity is generated separately. The corporation was founded in 1514. Its first master was Thomas Spert (later Sir), sailing master of Henry VIII's flagship Mary Rose and of Henry Grace à Dieu.

Minories ( MIN-ə-reez) is the name of a small former administrative unit, and also of a street in central London. Both the street and the former administrative area take their name from the Abbey of the Minoresses of St. Clare without Aldgate. Both are positioned just to the east of, and outside, the line of London's former defensive walls, in London's East End. The area of the former administrative unit was outside the City of London (most recently in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets), with the street partially in the City and partly in Tower Hamlets. Boundary changes in 1994 mean the area of both is now wholly within the City of London.
