 Sorry, no image available With The Key, The Cross and Canvas gone in one fell swoop at New Year and Turnmills following suit in Easter, the amount of clubs in London has been rapidly diminishing. Luckily, rescue is on the way in the form of a brand new venue: the East Village club in Shoreditch.
East Village opens on Friday 22 February, on the site of the old Medicine club.
