The Lambeth Council Licensing Sub-Committee convened to discuss two applications: a new premises licence for the Streatham Cocktail Club and a variation of an existing licence for K Pubstar. The committee granted the licence for Streatham Cocktail Club with additional conditions, but rejected the variation application for K Pubstar due to a lack of clarity and concerns about meeting licensing objectives.
