The Night Time Industries Association welcomes the fantastic news that Moth Club has been saved, a huge victory for London’s nightlife and a powerful example of what can be achieved when our sector stands united.

This outcome results from the tireless work by NTIA, the Music Venue Trust, artists, audiences, local residents and industry stakeholders who came together to protect a venue representing the very heart of grassroots culture. The scale of public support sent a clear message: these spaces matter.

Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, said:

“This is incredibly welcome news and a defining moment for London’s nightlife. Moth Club is more than just a venue, it is a cultural institution, a platform for emerging talent, and a vital community hub. What we’ve seen is people power in action, a collective voice that simply could not be ignored.

But while we celebrate today, we must be clear, this fight is far from over. Across the UK, venues continue to face mounting pressures from development, rising costs and shifting economic conditions. We cannot keep relying on last-minute campaigns to save spaces one by one.

This must now be a turning point. We need stronger protections, better planning policies and real recognition of the value our sector brings. Because without nightlife, we risk losing the cultural heartbeat of our cities.”
