Blitz Club Demolition Ends an Era | London News
Description
The legendary Blitz Club, birthplace of Spandau Ballet and Boy George, is set to be demolished to make way for a new aparthotel — but its wild, art-driven legacy lives on. Though only open 18 months, this New Romantic mecca defined ’80s fashion and music with its iconic “walking art” door policy. Despite local outcry over the scale of the replacement and the building’s dilapidated state, council approval prioritizes urban renewal. The site’s demise marks the end of an era — but the Blitz Kids’ influence? Forever immortalized.
