A report suggests that London's empty office blocks could become weekend nightclubs to address the nightlife crisis. The 'Future of P-Leisure' by Bombas and Parr recommends using skyscrapers for nightlife, capitalizing on underutilized spaces. These towers could serve as financial hubs during the day and transform into venues for nightlife without disturbing local residents. The current structure of the City of London—with only 8,000 residents amidst a workforce of over half a million—provides an opportunity to create vibrant nightlife without noise complaints, merging capitalism with counterculture.
The most recent edition of an annual report by Bombas and Parr, titled the 'Future of P-Leisure', has said that the solution to London's nightlife crisis could be to just look up.
Bombas and Parr suggested that tower blocks could be used for 'finance by day, and rave by night'.
With few residents to file noise complaints, organisers capitalise on the empty, echoing canyons of glass and steel.
Michael Kill, chief executive of the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA), noted that boosting footfall in financial districts could make this ambitious proposition appealing.
