The Archway
Islington Council recently approved a licence variation for The Archway, allowing expansion of its smoking terrace.
Islington's Licensing Sub-Committee B approved a premises licence variation for The Archway, a venue at 1 Navigator Square, in September 2025. This decision allows the expansion of its smoking terrace, permitting a maximum capacity of 60 people when the main venue is closed. The terrace can operate from 9am to 1am on Sundays to Wednesdays, and from 9am to 2am on Thursdays to Saturdays.
No further council discussions or decisions regarding The Archway's licence variations are currently scheduled. The approved variation was granted despite concerns raised by a local resident about potential noise from the expanded terrace area.
