Mean Fiddler acquired the London Astoria in May 2000, 'securing the future of live music at one of London’s most famous rock ‘n’ roll venues.'
However, it was recently [late June '06] sold to property group Derwent Valley Central for £23.75m, who plan to convert the site to a combination of shops and offices to raise money during the Olympics. After all, Oxford Street clearly needs more shops, flats and offices. It will continue to be rented to the Mean Fiddler group for £1m per year until 2008.
