London's Oval Space license revoked following alleged shooting

The incident reportedly took place on 30 August at an event celebrating Notting Hill Carnival, and a licensing committee concluded earlier this week that the venue's license should be revoked due to the alleged shooting, as well as previous disturbances including fights, gangs and more.

Mixmag reports that although the venue no longer has a license, Oval Space does have the opportunity to appeal the decision.

In the hearing, Oval Space owner Dean James said, "I’m ashamed of what’s happened at our venue. I apologise to the police and I apologise to the committee. It was a catastrophic failure of the security company, we know that. There are some mitigating circumstances - it’s the most difficult operating environment that I’ve ever known in the business in 22 years."
