Mayor’s licensing powers

Published On: 13th February 2026

The Government is proposing to give the Mayor of London new powers in licensing. This proposal aims to boost London’s nightlife, hospitality, culture and tourism, whilst keeping the city safe and inclusive.

Details are on the GLA website here.  There is a consultation for which responses can be submitted until 27th March.

These proposed powers would be relevant to London Forum’s open meeting Are London’s High Streets and Town Centres in Crisis? on 6.30pm 26 March 2026.
