28 Berkeley Square, once home to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and later a prestige members' club, has become a grim symbol of decline. During the pandemic, it went into administration and now stands largely abandoned, attracting squatters who use the basement as shelter. Reports describe piles of belongings and drug use on-site. Despite police visits, legal challenges make removal difficult, leaving the building a blight on the upscale Mayfair area. Administrators have sought new tenants, but the venue remains a focus of urban concern.
The building, once an elite members' club frequented by celebrities, has devolved into a derelict squat, attracting antisocial behavior and neglect.
A nearby security guard described the transformation of the iconic venue, lamenting its current state: 'It’s becoming like a slum. It’s a magnet for anti-social behaviour.'
