Iconic independent London venue MOTH Club is facing potential challenges due to new residential development plans.
A planning application has been submitted for the construction of flats next door, which will feature balconies overlooking the stage wall and smoking area of the venue. This situation could lead to noise complaints and operational restrictions, posing a threat to MOTH Club’s continued operation.
The venue has launched a petition against the proposed development, seeking support from the music community, including labels, festivals, and promoters, to safeguard this crucial space.

MOTH Club, which began as an ex-serviceperson’s club in 1972 and has been a hub for live music, comedy, film nights, and club events for the past decade, has hosted numerous emerging and established artists such as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, IDLES, Jarvis Cocker and many more.
