Plans for a new Blue Note Jazz Club in London's Covent Garden face opposition from the Metropolitan Police Service, who fear an increase in crime and disorder if the venue is granted a license to operate until 1am, seven days a week.
Club to expand to the U.K. could be at risk, with London ’s Metropolitan Police Service expressing fears of a potential “uptick in crime”., plans are in place for a 350-seat venue to be established in the basement of the St Martins Lane hotel in Covent Garden. If the application is approved, the venue would be open until 1am, seven days a week.
The report and hearing also included statements from unnamed local residents who shared their concerns and suggestions for the potential venue. These included recommendations that the venue’s operating hours be limited to 11pm in order to limit the “potential for crime and exploitation of vulnerable jazz lovers“
The applicant has however responded to these concerns in the report, noting that a 1am closing time is “integral to the music scheduling in the basement and the viability of the cultural use” of the venue.
