I can't believe it stayed open as long as it did when everyone knew what was going on there.
People will just go elsewhere and take drugs. Rather than make the environment safer and going after dealers, we instead have draconian measures like it's 80s America.
Our attitude towards drug taking is so outdated. People will always find ways to get messed up and along with the legal high debacle we're going backwards not forwards.
Ministry of Sound have been having pressure for last year or so now from local authority because of residents of the flats which have been built opposite a few years back, which is ridiculous. The Club has been there for best part of 25 years, giving planning permission for flats opposite was only ever gonna cause problems.
London clubbing scene has deteriorated the last 10 years badly. Kings Cross area lost all its clubs, Turnmills now a restaurant, Fabric gone, MoS under pressure, Studio burnt down, Matter no longer weekly events. Sad.
I've only been to Fabric once and loved it. If they have closed it because of concerns over drug taking then as mentioned above local authorities best employ a shit ton of people to close pretty much every licensed establishment in the country

Same thing occurring in Scotland with places like the Arches in Glasgow shutting down.

Perhaps people will be able to squat the luxury empty flats that will replace it?!
Funny enough the squat/free party scene has some sort of a resurgence since these clubs started closing down. No £40 tickets either.
Bingo.
This is just going to push so many people to the underground scene, where it is already too dominant for music such as in Fabric, which is impossible to police.
I don't really see what more the club could do. If people want to take drugs into a club, any club, then they can do and that is up to the individual if they want to take that risk and be irresponsible with with their drugs.
I accept that I have a motive to overlook certain things and have a clouded judgement because I'm just gutted it's gone because it was so so good, but to me it seems like we're tackling the wrong thing. Education about drugs is needed - taking away fabric doesn't do that.

Is Hidden still going strong?
If not, fuck London.
Closed about a year or so ago mate. Only club round there is Fire.

And the BAFTAs, Golden Globes, TV awards, or pretty much any celebrity awards evening.

Tbf ministry of sound is an absolute joke. I've seen dealers walking around soliciting their wares to the queue of people waiting for entry openly flashing at least a few grand in 10 and 20 pound notes. Right in front of the bouncers and police.

The bouncers in there are absolute arse holes. Apart from that it's a great club.
