Official statement issued on Bloc 2012

An official statement has been issued by London Pleasure Gardens, site hosts for Bloc 2012 about the problems at tonight’s event.

“We can confirm that this morning at 00:45, following advice from the Metropolitan Police, Bloc was subject to a controlled shut down due to health and safety concerns.

London Pleasure Gardens are currently co-operating with police to ensure all visitors leave the site and commence their onward journeys safely.

Our number one concern is always public safety, and sometimes tough decisions need to be made by on-site security, but we always act as we believe is necessary at the time to best protect visitors.”
