Licences &
street trading
Tower Hamlets Council is responsible for the
control and licensing of an extensive range of activities and
businesses in the borough.
Licence applications under the Licensing Act 2003
The Licensing Act 2003 has combined six
existing licenses covering the sale and supply of alcohol, the
provision of regulated entertainment, and the provision of late
night refreshment and has replaced them with a single system of
premises licences.

entertainment licence
Tower Hamlets Public Licensing Register
We maintain a register of all
licences issued by us under the Licensing Act 2003, relating to
alcohol and other activities such as regulated entertainment and
late night food traders.
You can now search and view our online register
for premises licences, personal licences and temporary event
notices (TENs).
