The Licensing Sub-Committee of Hammersmith and Fulham Council met on Tuesday 24 February 2026 to consider applications for premises licences. Decisions were made regarding applications for The Hurlingham Club and Pick N Save.

The Hurlingham Club

The committee considered an application for a premises licence for The Hurlingham Club¹. The application sought to permit the sale of alcohol and the provision of regulated entertainment, including live and recorded music, dancing, and film screenings, until 01:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, and until 00:30 on other days. The club also applied for permission to operate as a hotel, with services available to residents and their guests.

Representations were received from a number of interested parties, including residents concerned about potential noise disturbance and increased traffic. The club's representatives argued that the proposed operating hours and activities were in keeping with the club's status as a private members' establishment and would not significantly impact the local community. They highlighted existing noise mitigation measures and proposed further controls to address concerns.

After deliberation, the committee decided to grant the premises licence for The Hurlingham Club. However, certain conditions were imposed, including restrictions on the hours for live music and amplified sound, and a requirement for a comprehensive noise management plan to be implemented and adhered to. The decision was made in line with the council's licensing objectives, particularly the prevention of public nuisance.

Pick N Save

The committee also reviewed the premises licence for Pick N Save, an off-licence located at 123 High Street, Fulham. This review was prompted by representations from the Metropolitan Police concerning alleged breaches of licensing conditions, specifically related to the sale of alcohol to intoxicated persons and the prevention of crime and disorder.

The police presented evidence detailing several incidents that they believed demonstrated a failure by the premises to uphold its licensing objectives. They argued for the revocation of the licence to prevent further issues.

The owner of Pick N Save, represented by their legal counsel, contested the allegations. They presented arguments and evidence to demonstrate that they had taken steps to comply with their licence conditions and that the incidents cited by the police were either isolated or misrepresented. They proposed a series of additional measures, including enhanced staff training and improved CCTV coverage, to address the concerns raised.

The Licensing Sub-Committee considered the representations from both the police and the premises. They acknowledged the seriousness of the concerns raised by the police but also took into account the proposed remedial actions by Pick N Save. The committee decided not to revoke the licence. Instead, they imposed a number of additional conditions on the licence, including a requirement for all staff to undergo refresher training on responsible alcohol sales, the installation of a new CCTV system, and a commitment to maintain a log of all alcohol sales to known intoxicated individuals. These conditions were aimed at reinforcing the licensing objectives and ensuring better compliance moving forward.
