Thought it was worth a tribute thread of its own. Brixton will be all the poorer for the loss of this club.
Might want to lock the old one and link to this? I agree it's a sad day indeed, be good to see it in one thread not spread across several.

Surely the reason is clear - quoting from Hondo Enterprises - property investment
Hondo Enterprises is a property investment, development and asset management company specialising in opportunistic and value-add transactions in Central London.
Unless I have got the wrong end of the stick they've shoe-horned Photofusion out of the market and into International House
they've apparently bought the former Tesco/Kwiksave building from Mike Ashey
Looks like Club 414 is the latest "value-add transaction" involving Brixton Market.
Isn't it nice to have such a laissez faire council? Lambeth Labour are more laissez faire than Wandsworth Tories if you ask me.

I only got to go to one night there, but found it a very nice place to party and I'm sad to see that they lost their battle.

Really gutted about this. Cant say im too surprised, but id like to hear the story of why time is being called now.
Had a brief stint working at the POW a couple of years ago, and after my shift they would always let me in for free, so i ended up there most Friday, Saturday and even Sunday nights.
Where else in London, never mind just in Brixton, can you turn up, pay a tenner and dance to harder, more underground dance music until silly o clock?
Huge loss!

I thought the previous episode of the club being under threat was down to LAP, so I was guessing that the current closure is down to Hondo (billed as the US based hedge fund new owners of Brixton Market).
However I freely admit I haven't any documentary evidence, land registry searches etc.
editor did suggest he was going to give the full story. So far this has not extended to who owned what.
The Brixton Blog article here suggests that Brixton Market ownership issues are not transparent at present - and Hondo even got them to amend it after publication Registered owner of Brixton Village is a US-based hedge fund

Do we know the reason why yet it is closing relatively suddenly?
We knew the last threat was due to Be At One (i think) trying to get their hands on the place, whats the craic this time around?

Yes, you're right. This Saturday is the last big club night and then there's one music night on Sunday and then it's gone forever. So fucking sad.

It was only an occasional one for me when I was in Brixton but had some great nights in there. It's a shame it's going, looks like it's getting a good send off.
