A 15,000-capacity 'superclub' in North London faces having its licence stripped following drug-related deaths and a stabbing on the premises. Drumsheds in Tottenham, Enfield is at risk of closure after the Metropolitan Police submitted an application for its licence to be reviewed following a spate of recent serious incidents, including a drug overdose and a reveller attacked with a knife.
Four clubgoers were rushed to hospital on the night of October 12 after having taken drugs at the venue. A 27-year-old man tragically died and another required urgent care following the incident which was not immediately reported to police. On another evening, a 29-year-old woman died after taking a drug overdose.
And at another event on Saturday November 16, officers were called to the clubhouse after reports of a man being attacked with a knife. The victim was hospitalised after suffering several lacerations on his body. A police report said that officers considered closing the venue that night given the venue's lack of cooperation, but were left unable to do so due to the 'size of the crowd' and the 'lack of resources to do so safely'.
Meanwhile, revellers at an event held at the party space - one of Europe's largest - earlier this month complained of huge queues, crowd crushes and 'physical violence'. Drumsheds in Enfield, North London is facing a review of its licence following a spate of serious incident including a stabbing and several drug-related deaths.
