Help me step back in time

A pint of lagerFor a few days now I have been thinking of a gay establishment of yore, and I can't remember what it was called for the life of me.

It used to be in St Martin's Lane in London, a few doors down from Brief Encounter (which by the way is still there, but seems to be closed these days, at least judging by the looks of it when I walk by).

As far as I can remember this bar was one long and fairly wide room, with some sort of industrial design i.e. plenty of corrugated steel.

It might have been called The Hangar (?) and it used to be open around 1992-ish.

Can anyone help? This is really bugging me.

    Crews? That was in Upper Saint Martin's Lane, next door to Stringfellows, and fits the description. Can't remember any place called the Hangar though.

    I think it was called Cruise, wasn't it?

    Yes, Crews. Only ever went there once. V popular for a very short while, as I recall.
