Johnson: West end ‘open for business’
London Mayor Boris Johnson has said the West End is ‘open for business’ as a investigation continues into what caused a theatre ceiling to collapse, injuring 80 people.
Safety experts are checking the capital’s theatres after around 10 square metres of plaster from the Grade II-listed Apollo Theatre plummeted on to the stalls below, dragging a section of the balcony with it, striking members of the audience and filling the theatre with clouds of thick dust.
