Midweek Mango's Mayhem

In spite of the imminent hearing to decide the future of their alcohol license, Mango's has chosen to add to the disturbance suffered by local residents by opening a fortnightly student's night.

Here is one resident's view:


"Last night (Wednesday 29th September) was the opening night for a fortnightly student event at Mangos (http://www.mangos-london.com/) and I was woken at 2:00 with hundreds of drunk students flooding out of the nightclub blowing whistles, shouting, fighting and beeping car horns. This noise persisted until 3:00 meaning that I did not get a good nights sleep. No individual from the nightclub was present on the street. The next morning Artichoke Hill and Pennington Street was covered in alcohol bottles, fast food wrappers and sick."

As we move ever closer to Christmas the chances are that increasing numbers of residents will suffer disturbance caused by rowdy, drunken groups of youths leaving Mango's intent on anti-social behaviour.


As residents, our best possible chance of ending this nuisance will be at the Magistrates Court on 19 January 2010. We need to continue to collect evidence in support of our case. Mango's will no doubt assume that we will eventually get tired. We will not. We will eventually win.



If you suffer any late night noise, whether on Wednesdays or at the weekends, please leave a comment here.
