About sex establishment licences

To run a sex shop - i.e. any premises selling sex toys, books or videos - you may need a licence from the Licensing Authority issued under the provisions of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as amended by the City of Westminster Act 2007.

To run a venue where explicit films are shown to members of the public, you also need a licence from the Licensing Authority.
