London metal dive The Intrepid Fox to close
By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 28 February 2014
London pub The Intrepid Fox, host to a load of metal/rock shows in the capital, is due to be evicted from its current site on St Giles High Street on 1 Apr. The venue is the latest to close due to construction work on the new Crossrail line at Tottenham Court Road station, which also prompted the closures of neighbouring live music spots the Astoria, Astoria 2 and Metro.
Posting a note on Facebook, its owners, who were previously forced to move the business from its former site in Wardour Street in 2006, also by building work (that time on some flats), hinted at a “third chapter in the tumultuous history of The Intrepid Fox”, adding “the story is never finished, the future is still unwritten”.
The Fox is counting down to its closure with a month’s worth of shows, of which its owners write: “Come down and party with us to bid farewell to our home of the last seven years. We promise you that this area will never see the like again. Anyone who wants to be a part of rock n roll history: don’t miss it. Anyone who believes in individuality and creativity, opposed to grey tower blocks: don’t miss it. Anyone who’s passionate about the alternative community: don’t miss it”.
