London Club News: Soho Club 'The Seen' has licence revoked in drug bust - 25/09/01

Westminster Council has approved an application from the Met police Clubs & Vice unit to revoke the licence of a Soho nightclub. The application was approved on the back of evidence supplied which proved that Class A drugs were openly sold on the premises of The Seen nightclub in Dean Street, W1.

Chief Inspector Chris Bradford, Clubs and Vice Unit, said: "We felt it was necessary to take this course as yet a further measure to try and eradicate this serious and open problem of Class A drug dealing from the premises. A full investigation has been carried out and we have previously made a number of arrests at the nightclub."

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Trotter, head of policing in Westminster, said: " I fully support this application to Westminster City Council. This goes to highlight the firm stance that we take in the Borough not just in tackling the problem of drug dealing but all illegal, dangerous and anti-social behaviour.

"The West End is a magnet for those seeking entertainment and is a tourist attraction in its own right, as well as having a large residential population. I want to ensure that my officers, in conjunction with our partners at Westminster City Council, do everything in our power to make the area as safe as it can be."
