Aldi
Aldi is currently seeking changes to alcohol licensing in Westminster and recently had planning conditions for a new Bromley store's fleet standard approved.
Bromley Council's Development Control Committee approved a minor material amendment in June 2026, allowing Aldi's Farnborough Way store to open with a FORS Bronze standard, committing to achieve it by Q2 2027. Proof of FORS Silver will be required within two years of the store's targeted August 2026 opening. In March 2026, Aldi applied to Westminster City Council's Licensing Sub-Committee (1) to vary its Edgware Road store's premises licence, seeking to permit alcohol sales from 7am on weekdays.
The Westminster application also proposes removing a condition requiring the alcohol display area to be inaccessible outside permitted hours, and increasing the ABV limit for certain specialist products from 5.5% to 6.5%. No upcoming council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss Aldi's applications.
In July 2025, Hammersmith and Fulham Licensing Sub-Committee granted an alcohol licence for a new Aldi supermarket at Fulham Broadway, with restrictions during Chelsea Football Club matches. This decision followed concerns raised by the Metropolitan Police and local neighbourhood watch groups.
