A pub located in central London may soon have to close its doors an hour earlier due to a complaint from a neighbor. This issue was brought to the attention of Westminster Council's licensing committee after a resident living near The Globe, which is situated opposite Baker Street Station, reported being disturbed by noise coming from the pub at night.
According to official documents, the resident claimed that the constant "murmuring" and occasional bursts of laughter from the pub's patrons were keeping them up at night, even after the pub's 12am closing time. In their complaint, the resident stated that this disturbance caused them to have trouble falling asleep and often resulted in days of exhaustion.
The resident also cited specific incidents where noise levels were particularly high, with messages exchanged between them and the pub's manager as evidence. In one message, the resident expressed their frustration at the noise level and the manager responded by assuring them that they were trying their best to control the situation.
This is not the first time The Globe has faced complaints from this particular neighbor. In 2022, the same resident reported the noise caused by the delivery of beer barrels to the pub, leading to a condition being added to their license that they cannot accept deliveries between 11pm and 7am.
The current complaint, which is based on the grounds of preventing public nuisance, could result in the pub being forced to close an hour earlier than usual. The neighbor has also mentioned that it takes up to 45 minutes for customers to leave the area after closing time, causing further disturbance.
