Is the night time economy under threat? We hear from London, Sydney and Amsterdam.

Is the night time economy under threat? Dozens of clubs have closed in London in recent years, leading some to fear a slow death of the clubbing scene there. Edwin Lane speaks to some concerned club promoters and London residents. And in Sydney strict drinking laws have been blamed for killing off the city's once-thriving nightlife, as Sydney resident and Freelancer.com chief executive Matt Barrie explains. Plus Manuela Saragosa speaks to Mirik Milan, the night mayor of Amsterdam, about how to maintain a night time economy without annoying the neighbours.
