It was announced yesterday (Monday January 22nd) that the closing date for London's Hammersmith Palais has been scheduled for April.
Music fans have been campaigning to have the building listed, preventing its demolition. But Fulham and Hammersmith Council have now approved a proposal by Parkway Properties (property developers) to knock it down and transform it into a restaurant and office block.
BBC 6 music spoke to Hammersmith and Fulham councillor Lucy Ibimy who said: "We recognise the contribution the Palais has made to the west London music scene, but the golden days of the club are long gone."
