London is known for its rich nightlife, but the night time economy has taken a series of hits over the years due to factors like the pandemic and recessions.
A recent report by the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) highlighted the devastating impact the cost of living crisis and the pandemic has had on the night time economy.
The figures revealed that 3,011 nighttime businesses closed down in the London region between March 2020 and December 2023.
In the city of London, the report showed that 1,608 businesses had to close their doors during the same period.
During the 2000s a number of London’s best loved venues closed their doors for a number of reasons from crime to gentrification.
