It was later owned by Oscar Owide,[2] eventually becoming a brothel, before closing its doors in 2001.[3] Later that year, Marco Pierre White and Piers Adam attempted to revive it as a glamorous destination,[1] but both lost money on the deal[2] and by 2002 the project had run into legal subletting difficulties with the Crown Estates, at which point White and Adam were no longer working together on the project.[4]
The building is now the site of a club and restaurant called the Cuckoo Club.[5]
