Man arrested for rape at London's Groucho Club as police investigate allegations

A 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of rape at The Groucho Club in London. This follows reports of a woman being raped at the venue in November. The man was arrested in Hertfordshire and is currently in custody. The Metropolitan Police requested a temporary suspension of the club's license due to concerns about a serious criminal offense. Westminster Council agreed to suspend the license for up to 28 days pending a full hearing. The Groucho Club has cooperated with the licensing investigation and acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations. There is no indication that club employees were involved in the incident.
