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 Holy Trinity Priory, also known as Christchurch Aldgate, was a priory of Austin canons (Black Canons) founded around 1108 by Queen Matilda of England, wife of King Henry I, near Aldgate in London. The queen received advice and help in the foundation from Anselm of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The house was founded with clergy from St Botolph's Priory in Colchester, and the first prior was Norman, who was the queen's confessor. By 1115 the entire soke, or liberty of East Smithfield (including the ward of Portsoken) was given by the Knighten Guilde to the church of Holy Trinity within Aldgate. The prior of the abbey was then to sit as an ex officio Alderman of London.Matilda of Boulogne continued the close relationship between queenship and the priory. Two of her children were buried here and she took the prior as her confessor. In the 12th century the priory had a reputation as a centre of learning under Prior Peter of Cornwall.Thomas Pomerey is named as the prior of the house & church of Holy Trinity within Algate, in 1460. The priory was dissolved in February 1532 when it was given back to King Henry VIII of England. The buildings and land associated with the priory were given, or sold, to prominent courtiers and City merchants. None of the buildings survive today except for some pointed arches within the office building on the corner of Aldgate and Mitre Street. Mitre Street itself follows roughly the line of the nave of the priory church, while Mitre Square corresponds roughly to the former cloister. Some account of the Priory is given by John Stow, and in the revised Monasticon.
