City of Westminster Statement of Street Licensing Policy
Westminster Council is considering making a temporary street trading pitch relocation on Oxford Street permanent.
The City of Westminster Statement of Street Licensing Policy, which governs street trading licences, is currently being applied as a Westminster Licensing Sub-Committee considered a proposal in August 2025 to make a temporary street trader's pitch relocation on Oxford Street permanent. The Licensing Service is seeking to designate a new location for Isolated Pitch 3005 on Oxford Street.
This proposal involves rescinding the designation for Isolated Pitch 3005 on Portman Street. The pitch, held by a licence holder, sells ice cream and was originally located on Portman Street before highway works in 2018 forced its temporary relocation to Oxford Street.
