Legendary Charing Cross venue The Astoria is set to close. Ken Livingstone has announced the venue will be knocked down to make way for Central London's new Crossrail service. An online petition containing 35,000 signatures has been circling the web in protest at the news.
The 2000-capacity venue originally opened as a cinema in 1927, but has been exclusively used as a music venue for the last thirty years. If you’d like to voice your opinion or find out more information about the closure, visit http://www.myspace.com/savetheastoria
