London studios Strongroom has revealed it’s currently under threat from a new East London development.
The complex has been around since the mid-eighties, and in addition to the studios features the infamous Strongroom bar, which has hosted many a live set over the years.
“Strongroom is under threat of closure from a huge office block construction proposal,” they explain. “18 months of construction that would lead to the closure of our studios and cast our courtyard in shadow.”
There’s a petition against the development here which features loads more information, but it’s currently disabled due to “inappropriate content” (oo-er), so maybe check back again later yeah?
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
