Music fans fighting to prevent the demolition of Hammersmith Palais have lost their campaign to save the legendary venue.

Despite campaigners continued attempts to have the building listed, Fulham and Hammersmith Council have approved proposals by property developers Parkway Properties to knock the venue down and turn it into a restaurant and office block.

The development of the venue hinged on conservation area of consent being granted, which was finally given the go ahead yesterday (January 22).

I'm gutted about this!

Seen so many wonderful acts here... Flaming Lips, Dandy Warhols. It's beautiful inside, atmospheric.

It's such a crying shame.
