The Licensing Sub Committee C of Islington Council met on Thursday 21 May 2026 to consider two applications for premises licences. The committee granted a new premises licence for Reggae Flame, located at 35, 35-43 Hornsey Road, London, N7 7DD, with specific conditions. The committee also noted that an application for a new premises licence for YRS LDN, at Basement and Ground Floor Rear, 57-61 Charterhouse Street, London, EC1M 6HA, was withdrawn, leading to the cancellation of its hearing.

Reggae Flame Premises Licence Granted

The Sub-Committee granted a new premises licence for Reggae Flame, located at 35, 35-43 Hornsey Road, London, N7 7DD. The licence permits the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises only, from Monday to Sunday between 10:00 and 22:30. The premises will be open to the public from Monday to Sunday between 10:00 and 23:00.

Several conditions were applied to the licence, including amendments to existing conditions regarding delivery drivers' conduct and the addition of a new condition prohibiting music audible outside the premises. The decision was made after considering the Licensing Act 2003, national guidance, and the Council's Licensing Policy. The Sub-Committee noted that the premises falls within the Holloway Road and Finsbury Park cumulative impact area, but was satisfied that the applicant had demonstrated no negative cumulative impact on the licensing objectives. The applicant agreed to incorporate conditions proposed by the Police, leading to the withdrawal of their representation. One local resident's representation was withdrawn after the applicant agreed to a condition preventing music from being audible outside the premises. The Sub-Committee concluded that granting the licence with the agreed conditions would promote the licensing objectives.

YRS LDN Application Withdrawn

An application for a new premises licence for YRS LDN, located at Basement and Ground Floor Rear, 57-61 Charterhouse Street, London, EC1M 6HA, was withdrawn by the applicant. Consequently, the hearing for this item was cancelled.
