Heaven reopens after Council hearing
Westminster Licensing Committee have allowed popular gay nightclub Heaven to reopen, following a hearing on Friday 6th December. Several new conditions for licensing have been implemented including final entry at 3am, a ban on queue drinking, and changes to its security.
The club had its license suspended for 28 days following an alleged rape committed by a security guard in the vicinity of the venue in November. The security guard has since been arrested and charged with rape and is now in remand in prison.
A spokesperson for Westminster Council said: “Having considered all of the evidence presented by Heaven’s management, residents and the Metropolitan Police, the council’s licensing committee have agreed to lift the suspension of the venue’s licence.
“The committee was satisfied that Heaven’s operators have demonstrated significant improvements to security and stated that appropriate management plans are now in place for the venue to operate safely.”
