Thames Magistrates Court

5 stories · discussed at 3 council meetings · 1 council

Waltham Forest Council's Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee recently made several decisions on premises licences, which could be subject to appeal at Thames Magistrates Court.

In September 2026, Waltham Forest Council's Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee granted St. Mary's Church a licence to sell alcohol, restricting external sales and consumption to 9 PM. The Sub-Committee also partially granted a variation for RnR Lounge in September 2026, imposing specific conditions. Earlier, in July 2026, Duos Lounge's licence was modified to require amplified sound through a noise-limiting device following noise complaints.

Also in July 2026, the Sub-Committee refused Endri's bid to extend operating hours and alcohol sales due to nuisance fears, while Mez Lounge received a partial licence with new noise control conditions. These decisions are made by the council's sub-committee, with Thames Magistrates Court being where appeals against such licensing decisions can be made.
