First City club gets license revoked Print E-mail
Submit Content Important to you
A late-night bar in the City has become the first licensed premises in the Square Mile London to have its license revoked.

The decision follows a series of events, which have led to trouble at the City nightspot.  City of London Police officers have had to deal with issues of overcrowding, fights inside and outside the club, and have dealt with several complaints from members of the local community.  Officers are currently investigating the murder of African Caribbean music promoter Olu Olagbaju which happened inside Shadans on 4 December 2006.

City of London Police requested a revocation of the license and a subsequent review was held.  The premises was then made the subject of a 24 hour closure order on 13 January as a result of information indicating that there would be disorder that evening.

On Monday 29 January the licensing committee met for a review hearing and the decision was made to revoke the license for Shadans on a permanent basis.

This is the first time in the City's history that a license has been revoked on a permanent basis, and it has only happened a few times in the Greater London area.

City Police Inspector Matt Burgess said:

"This decision was taken as a result of the gross mismanagement and disregard for public safety that has been displayed by the owners of Shadans."

"As a Force we work in partnership with licensees across the City to ensure that they are encouraging safe drinking in a safe environment.  This includes initiatives such as having a strict door policy, ensuring staff are well trained and being respectful of the neighbouring community."  

"The closure of Shadans clearly demonstrates the robust approach which City of London Police will take with any licensees who do not manage their premises responsibly and threaten the safety of their patrons as a result."


The owners have 21 days in which to lodge an appeal against the decision.

Submit Content Important to you

A TEENAGE girl was gang-raped by four men who took videos of her ordeal on a mobile phone,a court heard.

The 17-year-old was attacked after being lured to a flat where the rapists were lying in wait, it is claimed. They used the same ploy to prey on another 18-year-old woman two days later, Inner London Crown Court heard on Tuesday. The 17-year-old, who cannot be named, sobbed as she described how friend Idris Adeokun, 21, known as Jermaine,called her that day wanting to meet up.He picked her up in a car before taking her to his cousin Emmanuel Garrick's home in Tessa Sanderson Place, Clapham, where four men were waiting.

She said: "He [Jermaine] said he wanted to have sex with me. I said, 'No, I've got a boyfriend and I'm happy'. He said I didn't have a choice. I told him I wanted to go home."

The teenager described how she was then raped by all five men and filmed until she managed to escape and call police.Jurors heard that two days later three of the gang lured another 18-year-old to the flat after offering to help with her CV.She was then raped by Adokun and Garrick before fleeing the flat, it is claimed.

Garrick, of Tessa Sanderson Place, Clapham, and Adeokun, of Crownstone Road, Brixton, each deny four counts of rape.

James Olamrewaju, of Saltoun Road, Brixton, and Jayce Baptiste,19, of Crownstone Road, Brixton, each deny three counts of rape.

Garrick and Adeokun deny two counts of false imprisonment.

Olamrewaju and Baptiste deny one charge of false imprisonment.

The trial continues.
