Despite this some lap dancers and industry cheerleaders were calling for this notorious club to stay open, still claiming it is a safe environment and that, despite the industry being ’empowering’ and ‘great for self esteem’ they would apparently be unable to find alternative work. But Camden Council has already set up a forum to support all performers when strip clubs shut.

A HUGE Thank you to everyone who has campaigned against this and all other clubs. A special thanks to women who have given testimonies about the industry, including this very club.

Camden’s next strip club licensing hearing is Weds 12 Feb, 7pm. Contact us for more info or to join us at: no@notbuyingit.org.uk

The Council will be considering another club in the Secrets/Sophisticats chain. So far, we have been banned from presenting the history of the chain to the Council (merely a summary of previous licensing meetings). And incorrectly forced to share our 15 minutes of objections with a Trade Union ‘for lap dancers’ which gives blanket support to all strip clubs.

Oh and the Council has only just realised that half the checks made on its strip clubs are pre-announced visits. The others are made with licensing officers (and seemingly a bevy of, possibly uniformed, police and immigration officers) – all familiar faces to the club. No wonder Council inspections always show full compliance!
