London's Astoria to be bulldozed

One of London's most beloved and iconic music venues, The Astoria, had its final show last night. A Demolition Ball.
Every major (and not so major) act has probably played a show or two there, it's the quintessential London venue.
In the next few weeks the building will be bulldozed to make way for a railroad connecting the two sides of the city.
Here's a clip of Blur's 1997 gig there, appropriately they're performing the melancholy song Sing.
