A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of rape at London's Groucho Club, which has been closed by police. The club's license was suspended following allegations of a serious crime that occurred on November 13. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest and stated there is no indication that club employees were involved. The investigation is being led by the Central West Public Protection Team, and the alleged victim is receiving support. The Groucho Club, known for its celebrity clientele, has a history of hedonism but has reportedly become more subdued in recent years. A hearing will determine if the club breached licensing conditions before it can reopen.
