Lebanese Grill Express
Tower Hamlets Council refused a new premises licence for Lebanese Grill Express in July 2026, citing public nuisance concerns.
In July 2026, Tower Hamlets Council's Licensing Sub Committee refused a new premises licence application for Lebanese Grill Express, a takeaway at 80 Brick Lane. The application sought to serve late-night refreshments until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays. The refusal was due to concerns over public nuisance and the premises' location within a cumulative impact zone, as raised by the council's Licensing Authority and Environmental Health department.
Objectors also cited the applicant's past compliance issues. The proposed licence included non-standard timings for bank holidays and New Year's Eve, extending until 3 am on bank holidays. No further discussions or decisions regarding this topic are currently scheduled by the council.
