A Licensing Review Reveals Throttling Back of License for Charing Cross Nightclub After Rape Incident A suspension of up to 28 days imposed on a popular London nightclub, Heaven, due to allegations of rape near the venue, has been lifted after a thorough review by the licensing committee. The Westminster City Council had previously suspended the club's license, citing concerns over the immediate safety of patrons following a reported incident on November 1. The suspension, put in place following a request from the Metropolitan Police, had left the club's operations uncertain.
Following a licensing hearing that was held earlier this week... the committee took into account the opinions of Heaven's management and provided evidence presented from both the management and residents of the area. The committee expressed satisfaction regarding the substantial improvements implemented by the venue's operators, specifically citing the implementation of new security measures such as enhanced queue management, improved CCTV coverage, "and the establishment of procedures for identification checks." The decision has led to the reinstatement of Heaven's license under certain conditions, "which include further enhancements to these security features." The spokesperson for the Licensing Committee acknowledged the changes made by the club and confirmed that the imposed regulations aimed to ensure a safe environment for the public.
According to the Westminster City Council website... this news was obtained from Mail Online.
