BREAKING NEWS: Cable London has been shut down! | #FuckNetworkRail
Other | Wednesday 1st May 2013 | Osh
One of London's most prestigious nightclubs has been forced into retirement as of today.
For over 2 years, Cable have been battling with Network Rail over location issues and today saw Network Rail break into the club with an entry order, putting the club into immediate redundancy.
Here's Cable's official statement.
..
Dear World,
It is with a huge amount of sadness that we announce Cable has closed with immediate effect.
We have been forced to close following two years of ongoing legal battles with Network Rail, who took possession of the venue this morning with an entry order, putting us out of business and leaving our 70 staff without jobs. This is due to them allegedly requiring the space back for the redevelopment of London Bridge station. It is an utterly devastating blow to what is a much loved, hugely successful, well respected music venue and media business.
This is not only a huge loss to the loyal fans and staff of Cable, but to London's clubbing community as a whole. With enormous pride, we delivered the very best talent in an environment that upheld the history of the early SE1 rave scene and supported as many musical styles as possible.
We are obviously devastated and still in shock by the news and know there will be questions. As you can appreciate, there is much work to be done and many arrangements to be made behind the scenes. A full press release will follow.
If you are presently a ticket holder for an event that was scheduled to take place at Cable, please do not worry - further information will follow in due course.
Our sincerest thanks,
The Cable Team x
This has sent the entire of London into rabid animals, proclaiming violence and riots.
We're the exact same, Cable was always an incredible team to work with and some of the nicest people we've ever met. We will battle to get this under our control again, but for now... We're clueless.
UPDATE
We've decided this can not happen, we're going to battle until the end.

we're going to make cable live on.
LONG LIVE CABLE.
