Gosh, it’s like people don’t have the money to pay for expensive entry fees and overpriced drinks any more.
Not sure if “Night Time Deserts” will ever be a thing, it’s hardly an essential.
A great victory for London’s councils; run by NIMBYs, for NIMBYs.
But the mayor told me London has the best nightlife in the world!
Rents obviously aren’t helping but the lifespan of these places have never been long. I can also think of several that have opened within that timespan too.
The cost of travel, entry, drinks, food, pretty much everything cost an absolute fortune. Is it any wonder why people are choosing not to go out anymore?
I live in the North-East and a crate of 12 cans is £9 at Tesco, if I go out and bought the same amount of alcohol in a pub, it’d be 3-4 times of that easily and that’s at the cheapest bars and pubs.
Buying your own drink and making your own entertainment is a no-brainer when you’re paying so much more to go out.
Last time i went to London we bought most drinks at off-liscense and drunk them on the street…
Also pubs closing at 3:00? Too early for a European capital
They should paint some St. Georges on roundabouts. The nightlife will still be shit but it will be patriotic
Yeah it’s noticeable. When done right they can be a proper British staple.
To be fair that only 20% have closed seems low? In hospitality the success rate of a new place in the best of times is really low like 50% close in their first two years or something. An oversaturated business because it’s a dream for so many to own their own bar/restaurant/club.
Five years is a long time in that business so for 80% to still be here at a time when the rest of the industry is declining massively due to macroeconomic effects is actually fairly resilient, no?
And how they want to reverse this trend? They want to force people to go? Tax spending quiet evening at home? 😀
