Starlane Pizza Bar is the latest London club to secure a rare 24-hour licence.

The intimate Canning Town club, nearly neighbors with another 24-hour venue FOLD, announced the acquisition of its new 24-hour license for Fridays and Saturdays alongside a new three-tier membership scheme. The 24-hour events will be available exclusively to members and ticket holders.

“In London right now there’s a huge gap in the marketplace for a small venue with a 24-hour licence”, Starlane’s general manager and The Number Group founder Bruno Ciaramicoli Cabral said in an Instagram video announcing the new license and scheme. “I then decided to apply for the 24-hour license, but also do a membership scheme, where only members and people with tickets will be able to come in.”

Cabral continued: “There’ll be a door picker that will be the one selecting [at] the door, making sure that we have all friends and have the right community on the dance floor, and have the right people at Starlane on the 24-hour license.” 

To take advantage of the official longer opening hours, Starlane will host early morning, night-into-day parties under the heading Daydreamers in collaboration with other promoters. The next All Night Long event will be with Starlane regulars Brainsurfers, aka Sam Bangura and Harry McCanna, on 15th March, with a to-be-revealed 30-hour Starlane birthday party beginning on 26th April. Elsewhere on the Starlane schedule are Nathalie Seres, j:me, Lulah Francs, DJ Perception, Ollie Rant, Cartulis, Circle, Kashawar and more. 

Earlier this month, London mayor Sadiq Khan launched the city’s first-ever nightlife “task force” to help organisations and businesses face the “huge range of challenges” of the current nighttime industry and economy landscape.

Just a couple weeks after that announcement, the Evening Standard reported the Metropolitan Police has been pushing back against plans for a London branch of the renowned New York City jazz bar Blue Note. The Met Police claim the venue’s proposed daily opening hours of 9 AM to 1 AM would “expose more people to crime and disorder in the immediate area”.
