London Loses another iconic central venue.  Tucked away just off Manette Street is one of the last venues standing as it stood alone long after the Marquee and Astoria were assigned to the history books so it seems the Borderline will now follow suit.  A press statement from the owners read,

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the Borderline will close its doors for the last time this summer. This has been an extremely difficult decision and one we are very sad to make. Despite an incredible effort by the team put into reviving this historic and iconic venue, it has been impossible to make it a sustainable venture due to many external factors. We’ve had an incredible few years at the venue, hosting fantastic gigs and club nights, and we’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended, played or supported us during this time.
