Shock as Atomic nightclub in Cambridge closes

An iconic and alternative Cambridge nightclub has closed its doors for the final time following failed negotiations with the leaseholder and owner of the property.

The manager of the Atomic Club on Station Road, Cambridge, Sheena Belham, 31, and her DJ partner Darren Douglas, 43 announced the shock decision to clubbers in a Facebook post on November 20.

Rising prices in maintaining the lease had been a major part in the decision to close the club which had been running in the city for around 25 years.
