The Cause
The Cause nightclub's application for extended operating hours was last discussed by Newham Council in August 2025, facing objections from residents and councillors.
In August 2025, Newham Council's Licensing (2003 Act) Sub-Committee reviewed a new premises licence application for The Cause nightclub, located in The Silver Building. The application, submitted by DL Food & Drink Ltd, sought permission for extended hours, including operation until 06:00 on Friday and Saturday nights. This proposal met with resistance from local ward councillors and residents.
Residents of Silvertown voiced concerns over noise and disturbances emanating from the venue. Objections were also raised by a tenant of The Silver Building. The application was for Spaces 4, 5, 6 and 7 within the building, with an existing premises licence already authorising various licensable activities.
