Islington Council has Suspended fabric London’s License, Closing the Club Indefinitely

Fabric London 1

Following the announced temporary closure of fabric London over the weekend, the local Islington Council has gone a step further by suspending the club’s license indefinitely.

While it was originally believed that the venue would remain shut for just a weekend as investigations began on the recent overdose deaths of two patrons, the club has now had its license suspended indefinitely following a review requested by the borough’s police team. A full review hearing to decide the club’s fate will be conducted later this month.

“Officers felt the need to act due to concerns about the safety of those attending the club because of the supply of class A drugs in the venue and the recent deaths of two young men linked to the club,” stated a Met spokesman.

An Islington Council spokesman responded: “After two recent drug-related deaths, the Metropolitan Police applied for an interim suspension of Fabric’s licence.

“Fabric agreed not to contest this application, and a licensing sub-committee has today suspended Fabric’s licence.

“This will be followed by a review of Fabric’s licence within 28 days.”

Fabric announced on Saturday that all ticket holders will be refunded via Resident Advisor.

The iconic fabric in London will remain closed temporarily this weekend in order to investigate the recent deaths of two 18-year old men from drug overdoses.

The club announced the closure via a Facebook post today:

Unfortunately, the London venue has had to endure some tumultuous relationships with local authorities recently, including an appeal against Islington Council in December of 2015. The council had attempted to impose strict licensing conditions on the venue including sniffer dogs and ID scans for every attendee.
