Licences and street trading
Licences and permits available from Wandsworth Council
We issue a range of licences, registrations and permits for activities based in Wandsworth. These are required by law in order to operate many kinds of business activities ranging from hairdressers and catteries to skip permits and venues providing alcohol and entertainment. In some cases the location at which the service is based must be licenced separately from the activity itself (For example massage and special treatment requires both a premises and a personal licence).
This page lists the licences, permits and registrations available. Each licence or permit links to the relevant legislation (national or local). You will also find the relevant application/renewal/change of circumstances forms and information about the fee required and any necessary conditions that must be met.
