‘RAPE’ PROBE Man, 34, arrested over ‘rape’ of woman at London’s Groucho Club as venue is closed by cops

The Groucho Club was established in 1985, catering to members of the media, entertainment and art industries.

Named after iconic comedian Groucho Marx, famous members have included Stephen Fry, Noel Gallagher, Harry Styles and Lily Allen among others.

Throughout its early history, the club garnered a reputation as a go-to venue for famous faces to let their hair down in privacy.

It has even been alleged that there was a dedicated room where members could buy cocaine.

However, the club is said to have taken a much calmer turn in recent years.

Mark Borkowski, who has been a member since 1985, said: “I have seen some extraordinary sights, but times have changed.

“You could not in any shape or form get away with the behaviour of a leading club in this day and age without being shut down.”
