Current Number of 24-Hour Licenses in London

Metro reports a significant decline in London’s 24-hour licenses for bars and clubs, dropping from 1,000 in 2010 to just 58 currently. Despite efforts by the Mayor to revitalize the nightlife, many councils report few venues with these licenses, often including non-traditional establishments like hotels and off-licenses. The late-night levy introduced in 2011 has deterred many from operating 24 hours due to high costs and strict regulations. Notably, Islington has the most 24-hour venues, including the famous club Fabric.
