Groucho Club to reopen following alleged rape

London's Groucho Club is to reopen after its licence was put under review following an alleged rape at the premises.

Westminster Council had forced the private members' club in Soho to close following claims a "recent serious criminal offence" had taken place at the premises.

The council's licensing committee reviewed the venue's licence on Wednesday and agreed it could reopen subject to conditions agreed with the police.

Among the conditions ordered by the committee will be for customer toilets to be checked every 30 minutes.
