disruption
Councils are currently addressing concerns about disruption from late-night venues and delivery bikes in local areas.
Hillingdon's Licensing Sub-Committee decided on a variation application for the London Empire Hotel in August 2026, after considering objections from residents and the planning department. Separately, Westminster's Licensing Sub-Committee has yet to announce its decision on the London Cocktail Club's application to extend operating hours, following a hearing in March 2026 where residents raised concerns.
Greenwich Council took action in October 2025 to address disruption and anti-social behaviour caused by delivery bikes on Eltham High Street. A motion passed by the council acknowledged the negative impact on footfall and local businesses.
