Gosh, Whatever Could She Mean..?

Another witness, who was outside the nightclub, said: ‘The paramedics were trying to resuscitate the guy on the stretcher outside the club. He was covered in blood and looked naked. I think the guy was dead when they got him into the ambulance, he looked in a bad way. Armed police were standing outside the venue. It is unbelievable this could happen on Christmas night.’
Yes, it's the festive shooting in, of all places, the West End. Just yards from theatres (including the Apollo) and expensive restaurants...
The Avalon is a nightclub, but also has a bar and a cocktail lounge in its basement. Their website describes the club as ‘a revitalised venue that oozes creativity and class’ which brings ‘a unique and stylish vibe to the heart of the West End’s party scene’.
Doesn't sound like the sort of place that you'd...

Ah.
She added: ‘I'm worried for my safety, I’d rather just not take the risk with certain raves now. Doesn't feel worth it.’
Say no more...

Try driving around that area in the small hours.

Pretty much devoid of cops and inundated with charming collection of gangstas and other serious trouble running around completely unhindered.

In any other mainland European city and they'd clean it up - BIG time.

It's not my preferred area after dark (there are better restaurants elsewhere).

The victim wasn't, as expected, named Percival Cholmondley-Warner or similar...
