Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee
Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee is currently addressing applications for new premises and temporary events, particularly those related to Notting Hill Carnival.
The Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee recently granted a licence to Rump Steak restaurant in July 2026, subject to strict conditions following objections from residents and a developer. The sub-committee also adjourned two hearings in July 2026 for a Notting Hill Carnival Temporary Event Notice (TEN) for the Love TKO music event, due to issues with submitted documentation and outstanding paperwork.
The Love TKO TEN, proposed for August 2026, sought permission for regulated entertainment and alcohol sales during the Notting Hill Carnival. Objections to this TEN were raised by the Metropolitan Police and the council's Noise and Nuisance Team. In July 2025, the sub-committee also considered objections from the Metropolitan Police and the council’s Noise and Nuisance Team to other Carnival TENs for alcohol sales, citing concerns about public safety and congestion.
The Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee, a sub-committee of Kensington and Chelsea Council, is responsible for making decisions on licensing applications. These applications can include requests for alcohol sales, late-night refreshments, and regulated entertainment, often drawing objections from local residents, developers, or official bodies like the Metropolitan Police.
