Street trading application and licence fees
The fees for Street Trading Licences for the period 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024 inclusive as determined under section 32 (1) of the London Local Authorities Act 1990 (as amended) are listed as below:
Please note that fees for Street Trading are payable in two parts: The Application fee is payable when you submit the application form and the licence fee is payable when your licence is granted. You will not be allowed to trade until BOTH parts of the fee have been paid. The Application Fee is non-refundable, even if your application is refused. You are welcome to pay both parts of the fee when you apply. If you do pay both parts of the fee at the application stage and your application is refused, you will be refunded the licence fee.
Temporary Street Trading application
If you are applying for a street trading licence there will be a 28 day consultation and then a decision will be made if the licence can be granted.

In respect of all Licences
An alternative system of daily fees may be used by traders who do not wish to trade on every day of the week. This is designed to reduce the overall cost for ‘one off’ or infrequent traders e.g. Saturday only trading.
The daily fees are as follows:
- Monday to Friday a flat rate of £10.81 per day plus application fee per stall (£125.46.00) I.d
- Saturday and Sunday a flat rate of £13.52 per day plus application fee per stall (£125.46)
I.D Cards for Stalls only
All temporary and permanent stalls and pitches are required to purchase an I.D card for every member of staff that works on the stall. The cost of each card is £30. The I.D card does not expire so you do not need to purchase a new card every time you renew your licence. You will be required to send in a passport style photograph for each I.D card.
The charge of £30 for each I.D card is payable with the licence fee (the second fee).
