The Groucho Club has abruptly closed following "a recent serious criminal offence" which is said to have taken place at the venue. The Met Police are investigating the allegations and the private members’ club faces a hearing about its licence in the next 28 days.
In the four decades since it opened, the Soho club has never been far from the spotlight. While nowadays its reputation is a little more staid, The Groucho was once a no holds barred place for celebrities and media types to let their hair down and mix the grain with the grape.
