Hounslow Council's Licensing Panel revoked the licence for Polski Sklep t/a Your Local Food & Wine in August 2026, following findings of underage alcohol sales and illicit tobacco. In September 2026, Wandsworth Council's Licensing Sub-Committee considered a review of the premises licence for Stonehenge Food and Wine.
Barking and Dagenham Council's Licensing Sub-Committee refused extended alcohol sales hours for Jay Food and Wine in July 2026, imposing additional conditions due to concerns over illicit tobacco and underage sales. Richmond upon Thames Council's Licensing Sub-Committee also refused an application to extend alcohol sales hours for Londis in June 2026.
The topic of underage sales, which involves the sale of age-restricted products like alcohol to individuals below the legal age, has led to licence revocations. For example, Hammersmith and Fulham Council revoked the licence for Jo Jo Convenience Store in January 2026 due to persistent illegal and underage sales.
