Groucho Club to reopen following alleged rape

Gary Grant, representing the Met Police, said the force had three concerns about how the club was operating.

“Firstly, lax procedures on the admission of members and guests and the recording of who was in their premises,” he said.

“Secondly, insufficient welfare training and procedures that required improvement.

“Thirdly, the inadequacy of the supervision of the toilet areas.”

He added that “other serious matters” were raised in a portion of the meeting held without the press or public present.

Mr Grant said the Met believed the “robust conditions proposed” would address the issues they have raised.
