The suspension of Heaven's licence will take effect immediately following a reported rape of a woman in the vicinity, involving a security staff member, prompting public safety concerns.
In the initial hearing, it was revealed that upon attempting to report the incident, the alleged victim faced indifference from other staff, highlighting potential systemic issues.
Westminster Council's licensing committee acknowledged the cultural significance of Heaven, yet deemed temporary suspension necessary to prevent further serious crime and protect public safety.
A full licensing hearing is scheduled for December, where the police and venue management will present further evidence regarding the incident.
