In 2021 the former Ginglik nightclub on Shepherd's Bush Green put in an appplication for planning permission for a change of use. The application was for a change of use from a nightclub to a restaurant.
Permission was granted by LBHF (who own the site) in September 2021, but since then nothing has happened.
2008 Closure
Ginglik nightclub, formerly an Edwardian loo, closed in 2008, and the site has been derelict ever since. Today you can still half-see the sign, as the former venue gently rots and adds to the general pervasive dilapidation of Shepherd's Bush Green.
Ginglik closed because of the cost of repairs to the site, but according to an article in the Evening Standard back in 2008, the site is owned by our Council, who were unable to afford the £300,000 cost of repairs to the premises, which therefore had to be closed, and "filled in with concrete". Since that time, the site has sat empty, gently rotting.
The former Ginglik site occupies a long-neglected corner of Shepherd's Bush Green, which has become a site for rubbish dumping and rough sleeping. Surely something can be done to find a use for this most central location in Shepherd's Bush?
