Sadiq Khan wants Fabric to stay open

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said that he’s keen for Fabric to have a future, after it was closed indefinitely this week following two more drug-related deaths at the Farringdon venue.

After the news, DJs began to Tweet the Mayor with their concerns about its closure, encouraging him to act and save a key part of the capital’s thriving nightlife.

Dearest @SadiqKhan I voted for you for your views on London club life. Now please do something about @fabriclondon

Lots of love

I couldn’t agree more with @djplastician here @SadiqKhan – we need @fabriclondon open for business. https://t.co/dfvX3hg1xl

Khan then responded to DJ Artwork, and released a statement encouraging compromise for the sake of the club.

I’m urging #Fabric, the Met & Islington to find an approach that protects clubbers’ safety & the future of the club. https://t.co/g9X5bZm02e

Scotland Yard had Fabric’s license suspended following a 18-year-old losing his life at the venue on the 25th of June, and another on the 6th of August.

The club’s future will be decided within 28 days.
