The Groucho Club, a popular celebrity haunt in London’s Soho area, has been closed amid a police investigation into allegations of a recent serious criminal offense. The Metropolitan Police have requested the temporary suspension of the club’s license, but have not provided any details about the nature of the allegations. The club, known for its association with A-list celebrities and as a more relaxed alternative to traditional gentlemen’s clubs, is cooperating with authorities and has accepted the decision to suspend its license.
Documents related to the licensing hearing have been posted online but most of the content has been redacted, and the hearing itself was held in private due to the ongoing police investigation. The council has stated that the decision to suspend the club’s license was made following reports of a serious crime taking place at the premises and a breach in the licensing conditions. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released when possible.
The Groucho Club has remained tight-lipped about the situation and has not yet commented on the allegations. The closure of the club, known for its maverick spirit and creative industry members, has left many in the entertainment industry puzzled and concerned. As the police investigation continues, the fate of the iconic private members’ club hangs in the balance.
