Enquiries are ongoing to identify the man and notify his next of kin.<\/p>\n
While details surrounding the incident remain limited at this time, it is understood that the victim was tragically killed while preparing to board a bus.<\/p>\n
Homicide detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command have also been informed.<\/p>\n
The Cobden Club opened in Notting Hill, west London, in 1996. Its members included author Will Self and TV stars Amanda de Cadenet and Mariella Frostrup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The late Amy Winehouse sang there regularly during the early part of her career.<\/p>\n
It was founded by Billy Brannigan, who was accused of raping a woman in a hotel room with the club’s head chef\u00a0 in 1997, but was cleared of all charges in September of this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The club was funded by investor Mr Johnson, also the brains behind Pizza Express. He was not accused of any crime. The club closed in 2010.<\/p>\n
