Aquarium Tapas Bar
Lambeth Council's Licensing Sub-Committee is reviewing Aquarium Tapas Bar's licence, with police seeking its revocation.
The Lambeth Licensing Sub-Committee convened in November 2025 to review the premises licence for Aquarium Tapas Bar, a bar located at 415 Wandsworth Road, London. The Metropolitan Police are seeking the revocation of the licence, citing alleged breaches of licensing objectives, including the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, and public nuisance.
The Metropolitan Police submitted the review application after raising concerns that the premises licence holder had failed to uphold these objectives. A previously scheduled review meeting for October 2025 was cancelled. The police application cited several incidents, including one in February 2023 where an argument escalated and a firearm threat occurred beyond the bar's permitted closing time of 04:00. No further meetings regarding the licence review are currently scheduled.
