Coffee shop and events space House of Hygge on Acre Lane has applied for a licence from Lambeth Council to show films from 9am to 11pm every day, and late night refreshment until midnight each day, including the sale of alcohol, with the licence starting at 8am.

Residents in the area have expressed general concern about the changing nature of Acre Lane, with increasing nuisance especially at night, and an unplanned spread of town centre activities. Residents have the opportunity to make representations on this application, addressing whether it meets the licensing objectives, such as the prevention of public nuisance.

Details can be found at www.lambeth.gov.uk/business-services-rates-and-licensing/licence-comments/current-licence-applications and representations can be made by email to licensing@lambeth.gov.uk by 7th December 2018.

The building has already been approved for demolition to be replaced by over twenty flats (17/03846/FUL) but work has not started.
