Khan's Intervention: A Glimpse into London's Nightlife Future London Mayor Sadiq Khan has intervened in Westminster council's licensing policy, which aimed to restrict new pubs and bars from opening in Soho and the West End.
The proposed policy would have effectively banned new nightlife ventures, citing noise and nuisance concerns.
The move is a response to what Khan calls "a skewed system" that favors affluent residents over businesses and communities.
