Sadiq Khan has said questions about the circumstances of the O2 Academy Brixton crush need to be answered before the venue’s reopening can be considered.
Speaking to mark six months since the crowd crush in which Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, and security worker Gaby Hutchinson, 23, were fatally injured, the mayor said the music venue’s future was a “secondary” issue, compared with the police investigation into what happened on the night.
