1 story · discussed at 3 council meetings · 1 council

Westminster Council's Licensing Sub-Committees are currently determining new and varied premises licences, which involves applying the Core Hours policy.

Westminster Council's Licensing Sub-Committees are regularly determining new and varied premises licences, which define operating hours for establishments. In September 2026, Licensing Sub-Committee (3) discussed applications for Peacock and Empire, The Barbary, and The Nail Garden. Licensing Sub-Committee (2) considered various applications in August 2026.

These decisions involve applying the Core Hours policy, which sets standard operating hours for licensed premises. For example, in April 2026, Licensing Sub-Committee (2) granted a new premises licence for a Taco Bell on Edgware Road, allowing extended late-night refreshment hours. No upcoming meetings have been scheduled to discuss the policy.
