Yup. Not a problem on the Mediterranean, it’s no coincidence that people travel to cities such as Ibiza/Mallorca, Mykonos, Istanbul, Valletta, Beirut etc for night life and bars. London should look there to see how it’s done.

We know. Stupid ass councils.
Can I squeeze my rental flat between your toilet and bar? Also, turn down the music.
Nothing stopping you walking the streets after they kick you out we need to take the party back the streets… the dome ranger is calling
When I was out in central over the weekend and the only place open at 9pm adjacent to bond street and all was amazon fresh and a Tesco 😭
London is a business city
Not a party one
It is a problem. However the article has a non sequitur. Westminster Council may approve the vat majority. You can’t use disprove that by saying Manchester has open at night than London.
It’s also just one council. And it doesn’t give any indication on how many requests they get. If they get theee and approve two, then they do indeed approve the majority.
I wonder what the issue really is – do businesses/pubs etc take enough in earnings to justify closing early, is it really NIMBYs and residents, or is it boring-sod councillors who don’t care?
I travelled recently to London and me and a friend got dissapointed at everything closde so earlyt
The article is a massive non-sequitur. Nothing they have said disproves the council’s claim that they approve the vast majority of license applications.
Plenty of businesses trade within the terms and hours of their license voluntarily since it is not profitable to trade late night hours at the moment- the demand simply isn’t there in high enough numbers to make it worthwhile.
When the last train is before midnight how can you stay out?
Who wants to go out in Westminster anyway? Just have a little jaunt across the river to Vauxhall/Waterloo and there’s plenty. We’ve surrendered central to tourists, any bar worth going to has long been priced out of the area
You can be a city with a bustling and active nightlife, or you can be a NIMBY property price obsessed city that wants to clamp down on noise and “riff-raff”. You can’t have both.

Happy to pay your train fare
