Licensing Sub-Committee
Lambeth Council's Licensing Sub-Committee recently refused a licence for Arch 600B Ferndale Road, citing public nuisance and safety concerns.
Lambeth Council's Licensing Sub-Committee recently refused a new premises licence for Arch 600B to 600D, Ferndale Road, in August 2026. The committee cited concerns over public nuisance, crime and disorder, public safety, and the protection of children from harm. This decision followed an application by Apollo Realtimes Limited for regulated entertainment, alcohol sales, and late-night refreshment, with the premises' residential location and requested operating hours influencing the refusal.
The sub-committee, which makes licensing decisions for Lambeth Council, was also scheduled to review the premises licence for Aquarium Tapas Bar in October 2025. This review, prompted by police concerns regarding crime, disorder, public nuisance, and public safety, was ultimately cancelled. Police had cited incidents, including an alleged firearm threat, as reasons for their application for a review of the bar's operation.
