A nightclub in Wembley called Spice Klub, also known as VT Club and Basement, has been closed and its licence suspended following a shooting on Douglas Avenue on 3 October. Police were called at around 3.45am to reports of gunshots. A 24-year-old man was found with gunshot wounds and taken to hospital in critical condition.

This Is Local London reports that the man's injuries were described as potentially life-changing. Doorbell camera footage from the street captured the sound of gunshots and people running in different directions. The Metropolitan Police applied to Brent Council for a closure order and an expedited review of the premises' licence.

The closure order was granted and remains in force until 20 October, when the matter will be considered at a full hearing in Willesden Magistrates' Court. The council has also suspended the licence with immediate effect pending a further licensing hearing, for which no date has yet been announced. The hearings will be held in private due to the ongoing criminal investigation. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
