IKLECTIK faces an existential fight to avoid eviction after the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation decided not to renew IKLECTIK's lease, putting them at risk of eviction by the end of the year. This decision came quickly after Save Waterloo Paradise mobilised nearly 50,000 supporters and persuaded Michael Gove to rethink the development project. IKLECTIK's public stance against the controversial plans has resulted in this punitive action against both IKLECTIK and Old Paradise Yard.
IKLECTIK is an important, central, vital pillar of London's experimental music scene. Its closure would be an absolute travesty.
