Overview
- JD Wetherspoon seeks permission to run a two‑floor site at 11 Strand with capacity for 320 people next to Charing Cross station.
- Proposed hours are 7am–11.30pm Monday–Thursday, midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 10.30pm closing on Sunday.
- The operator pledges no outdoor drinking or seating, no off‑sales, entry and exit via the station forecourt only, and no music entertainment.
- Management measures include nightly door supervisors, extra bouncers before 6pm for the first six weeks based on risk, and dispersal and match‑day plans.
- Local objectors cite existing crime, late‑night disorder and a proposed smoking area that could impede station access, and some seek earlier closing times.
