In addition to the regular council markets, the council issues street trading licences for events and festivals throughout the year.
When an event coincides with a regularly held market, priority will be given to those that already hold a street trading licence for that site.
All market and street trading activities are subject to licensing, to ensure a safe and fair environment for both traders and consumers. These activities are governed by the London Local Authorities Act 1990, which provides a legal framework for street trading, and the Food Safety Act 1990, which ensures that the food and drink sold to the public meets the required safety standards.
Organisations and residents' associations planning to include street trading in public events must adhere to standard conditions and obtain a street trading license through the event organisers.
Compliance with these regulations helps maintain the borough's commitment to ensure that street trading activities operate safely and legally, protecting the public and traders whilst supporting community events and local commerce.
