A LEGENDARY strip club is set to close after losing its licence for flouting “no touching” rules.
Lap dancers at the Windmill Theatre, in London’s Soho, encouraged sexually explicit behaviour in private booths.
A private eye hired by a women’s rights group told Westminster City Council’s licensing committee a girl “rubbed herself up and down” and spurred him to touch her intimately.
Council leader Nickie Aiken said: “There is a thin line between seedy and bohemian, what was happening at this club — historic though it may be — crossed that line.”
