| Edwardian loo, later Ginglik nightclub, now derelict |
The application is for a change of use, from a nightclub to a restaurant.
This surely good news for this long-neglected corner of Shepherd's Bush Green.
2008 Closure
Ginglik nightclub, formerly an Edwardian loo, closed in 2008, and the site has been derelict ever since. Today you can still half-see the sign, as the former venue gently rots and adds to the general pervasive dilapidation of Shepherd's Bush Green. Ginglik closed because of the cost of repairs to the site, but according to an article in the Evening Standard back in 2008, the site is owned by our Council, who were unable to afford the £300,000 cost of repairs to the premises, which therefore had to be closed, and "filled in with concrete". Since that time, the site has sat empty.
