The Licensing Sub-Committee A of Hackney Council met on Monday 8 June 2026. The committee considered a review of the premises licence for the Mondrian Shoreditch London Hotel, located at 45 Curtain Road, EC2A 3PT. The review was initiated by the Shoreditch Community Association (SCA) on the grounds of public nuisance and the protection of children from harm, citing issues with amplified music, DJs, and live music from the rooftop area causing noise nuisance to local residents.
Review of Premises Licence for Mondrian Shoreditch London Hotel
The SCA presented evidence of noise complaints between May 2024 and August 2025, detailing instances of loud bass and thumping DJ club music
from the rooftop beach club-style
events. A resident and sound supervisor also testified about the intrusive nature of the noise.
The premises licence holder, Molard Investments Limited, argued that the noise issues were primarily associated with previous operators. They proposed new conditions, including a sound limiter, and presented expert evidence on noise control.
The Sub-Committee discussed the evidence presented, including the potential for noise breakout from the rooftop, the impact on nearby residents, and the effectiveness of proposed noise control measures. The discussion also covered the application of the Live Music Act 2012 and the potential modification of licence conditions, including the use of a sound limiter and restrictions on rooftop activities.
The Sub-Committee noted that the licence covers multiple areas of the building, including the basement, and that any conditions would need to be drafted to specifically address the rooftop without negatively impacting other areas. The primary licensing objective considered was the prevention of public nuisance.
Procedural matters at the meeting included the election of a chair, confirmation of minutes from previous meetings, and the outlining of the hearing procedure. Attendees included councillors, licensing officers, legal representatives for the applicant and licence holder, and interested parties.
