Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons to open new London venue

Mumford & Sons’ keyboardist Ben Lovett has announced he’s set to open a new London venue.

The co-founder of the Communion record label is set to open a new space called Omeara, located in the Borough area, this Autumn.

Omeara is set to be part of a new development in the South Bank called ‘The Low Line’, which is set to connect Waterloo and London Bridge via a pedestrian walkway filled with new, local businesses.

Lovett said: “It has always shocked me how such an important global capital shuts down so many of its doors so early at night. There are thousands of people who don’t work to standard office hours, or have to work long, late hours. That shouldn’t mean they miss out on having some fun with their mates on the dance-floor a bit later on in the evening. I hope Omeara can be a club that provides that, and celebrate the 24 hour nature of London that is impossible to ignore.”

The first bookings Omeara are set to be announced in September.
