noise and anti-social behaviour
Richmond upon Thames Council is considering resident objections to a pub licence variation over noise and anti-social behaviour.
In October 2026, residents voiced strong objections to a proposed variation of a pub's licence in Richmond upon Thames, fearing it would exacerbate noise and anti-social behaviour. The Licensing Sub-Committee of Richmond upon Thames Council heard an application to vary the premises licence for The Crane & Tap, which sought to remove a condition restricting alcohol sales to table meals on event days.
The application proposes replacing the condition with a clicker system to monitor customer numbers, but residents fear the pub could become a 'vertical drinking establishment'. No further meetings are currently scheduled on this specific application.
