Southwark Council's Licensing Sub-Committee convened on Thursday, November 20, 2025, to review the license for Bermondsey Arts Club, located at 102A Tower Bridge Road, London SE1 4TP.
The review, conducted under the Licensing Act 2003, examined the premises' adherence to licensing objectives. These objectives include the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm.
The agenda for the meeting outlined several preliminary items, including apologies for absence, confirmation of voting members, and disclosure of interests, before the committee addressed the Bermondsey Arts Club review.
Attendees at the meeting included Councillor Dora Dixon-Fyle MBE (Labour and Co-operative), Councillor Barrie Hargrove, Councillor Kath Whittam, PC Walter Minka Agyeman, Debra Allday, Toyin Calfos, Wesley McArthur, Charlotte Precious, and Andrew Weir.
The sub-committee also considered whether to exclude the press and public to discuss confidential matters. The agenda included a motion to exclude the press and public to discuss reports revealing exempt information as defined in paragraphs 1-7, Access to Information Procedure rules of the Constitution. However, it is not confirmed whether this motion was moved or approved.
