Rembrandts has stirred up lots of opposition

The first club in the UK FYEO Park Royal changed hands a few months ago and was re-launched as .An application to open a new club in an old pub at 20, Star Lane, Canning Town in East London has stirred up the usual opposition. A further application to open a club called the “Bureau” in Stratford has been passed though one to open the former Manor House pub in Green Lanes has been turned down by Hackney council. An application to open a club called Blues in Peckham High St has been made and it looks like there could be a new strip pub called Caffrey’s Sports Bar in Trafalgar Rd , Greenwich . It seems also that the Lunar Attic in Stratford has reverted to being a normal nightclub. I understand the “Speed the Plough” pub in Barton le Clay {which has a very chequered history to put it mildly} is now likely to re-open as a full time strip venue in the near future.
Soho’s Candy bar { a lesbian bar which regularly features female strippers,  has changed hands and become part of the Soho Clubs and Bars group alongside the old Revuebar which is now a gay bar called Too2much. I understand the format will remain as before.

One of the few reasonably sized places in the UK still without a strip club is the historic town of York. This though is about to change with a club called “The Room” putting on regular striptease nights and the council saying that other applications are in the offing. The ancient town of Banbury is also to get it’s first club called “Cassenpiera” in Broad St, it has a licence and expects to open in September. The former Theatre Royal in Halifax{ right} was subject to an application to open that town’s 2nd lap dancing club, to be called “Platinum” but it was turned down on spurious disturbance grounds.
