One of London’s most prominent nightclubs has been forced to close after a member of security staff was charged with rape, the Metropolitan police said.

Westminster council’s licensing committee ruled on Friday that Heaven’s alcohol licence should be suspended for up to 28 days after a woman was allegedly raped in the vicinity of the venue in the early hours of 1 November.
