Turn empty London office blocks into ‘late-night party zones’, report suggests

16 comments

1. There were people that did something similar in the late eighties and early nineties only to then get hit with the criminal justice bill that then stopped all that late night partying.

2. Can guarantee you it’s always a party 12am in the office when all seniors are gone and only juniors are left on the floor

3. I’d agree if everyone wasn’t robbing everyone, and there wasn’t a massive increase in knife, violent, and sexual crime.

4. London has plenty of places to party, the problem is we can’t bloody afford it!!!

5. Maybe don’t turn an abandoned printing plant and one of the best venues into the UK into whatever the fuck is going on with it now?

   Which, by the way, was extremely close to Canary Wharf.

   Are we the only country as short-sighted and fucking stupid as to close a perfectly good club and rave venue, then turn around and come up with the idea of using office blocks as if there wasn’t a perfectly good alternative available?

6. > With financial districts struggling to bounce back to full capacity post-Covid, and the nightlife industry facing an existential crisis, there are suggestions clubs could move into deserted office blocks at evenings and weekends.

   Why not run hackatons there?

7. Surely converting them into housing would be more useful?

   Great, everything stinking of piss and vomit when I arrive at work on a Monday morning.

9. The chances of any of this happening are stone cold zero.

10. Well they are converting every empty office here that was built in the 90’s – 00’s into flats and then charging an arm and a leg for them

11. “Turn them into party zones!”

    > Shuts at 1am

    > £8 a pint

    > No transport links unless you live 10 mins away

    “Why is nobody spending money on our nightlife?”

12. Maybe London shouldn’t have gone on a mission to shut all the clubs in the first place???

    On a side note I did go to a 3-day event held in an office block during London Pride in 2023. That worked pretty well, despite being very strange.

13. No thanks. London is a cesspit of crime thanks to Khan.

14. They need to be cheap though. People want cheap entry and cheap drinks, they do not want more venues that charge an arm and a leg before you even get your first drink.

15. We need this to transition to a cyberpunk reality in the not so far future. Do it now.

16. Build decent council houses and make the City a living place again.
