private members' club

1 story · 1 council

Westminster City Council is considering a licensing application for Leconfield House, which objectors perceive as a private members' club.

Westminster City Council's Licensing Sub-Committee (2) adjourned a hearing in March 2026 for a new premises licence for Leconfield House. The application by Leconfield House Ltd seeks to operate the building as a private office and co-working space, with objectors arguing it is a private members' club.

The proposed licensable activities include the sale of alcohol until 1 am daily, late-night refreshment until 5 am, and regulated entertainment in the basement until 1 am. The adjournment was granted to allow one of the objectors' representatives time to recover or find alternative counsel.
