Cargo was a music venue in Shoreditch, London.
The courtyard of the venue features a Banksy artwork, depicting a uniformed man with a guard dog, next to a sign reading "this wall is a designated graffiti area".[1]
History
[edit]In May 2009, Professor Green was attacked with the neck of a broken bottle at the nightclub. His assailant was later convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison.[2]
It closed in December 2021, after its licence was reviewed by Hackney Council, following police concerns about crime they claimed was associated with the venue.[3]
In 2022, the site was taken over by the restaurant and cocktail lounge, The Viaduct, retaining the two Banksy pieces in the courtyard.[4]
Notable performers
[edit]Cultural references
[edit]The venue was used in a scene of the TV series Starstruck.[10]
