The London branch of the Pacha nightclub chain is to close in September, it has been announced. Opened in 2002, and named the capital’s Best Dance Club at Bar Magazine’s annual awards ceremony last year, the club will finally close its doors in September. A farewell party on 20 Sep will followed by one last hurrah, Kinky Malinki’s sixteenth birthday party on 27 Sep.

In a statement, the club’s owners said: “It was a nightclub born from those famous silver Balearic sands, a piece of Mediterranean musical heaven in the heart of London. The wild child offspring that has hosted some of the most sought after DJs from around the globe, will close its hallowed doors in the last week of September”.

However, the Pacha London brand looks set to live on, with the statement also hinting at plans to “take a completely new direction to match the changing trends of music in the capital”.

It continued: “Watch this space for the fresh, exciting beginnings and projects that are already in the pipeline. With such tight bonds forged as part of the Pacha family and an evolution underway, don’t be surprised if you have to swap the sultry dance floors for chic hotel foyers as plans for a boutique hotel unfold”.

I think that means the building’s getting turned into a hotel. Here’s a goodbye video:
