A new nightclub with a 24 hour license is set to open in London bringing some much needed life back into the city’s night time industry.
Brixton Storeys will open on April 18 to 750 people in a multi-venue room, including two roof terraces.
It is the first venue in the area to be awarded a 24 hour music and alcohol licence.
Owner Stevie Thomas is aiming to bring ‘a fresh narrative to Brixton nightlife but stay connected to the area’s heritage’.
He said: ‘This iconic venue is perfect for that and has been fully renovated with a new perspective that brings it right up to date.’
The club will also focus on LGBTQ+ events, and will be built on the former home to the Prince of Wales which has undergone an extensive redesign.
He said that the club will focus on ‘events with emerging artists and LGBTQIA+ communities who will be given a platform to party in their own unique way’.
Some impressive residents have already been announced, including Cirque Du Soul, Supa Dupa Fly, UKGBrunch, Mas Que Nada and Up On The Roof.
It comes as Sadiq Khan has revealed he wants to ‘sort out the tension’ between Nimbys and nightclubs as he launches a new task force to rejuvenate London’s nightlife.
The Mayor of London has announced London’s new independent Nightlife Taskforce after the city’s former Night Czar Amy Lamé stepped down in October.

G-A-Y owner Jeremy Joseph said ‘there is no point fighting to stay open anymore’ and blamed Westminster’s strict licensing, Nimby residents and the area ‘losing its queer identity’.
But in compiling members of all parts of the night time economy, Mr Khan said he hopes the group will try and reverse the decline the city has been experiencing so rapidly.
This includes exploring the extension of alcohol licensing, widening the night tube and putting Nimby’s who move to areas with a lot of night life last.
