What are the rules regarding street trading in London?

Question

This summer I am planning to sell home-made ice cream from a converted cargo bike around London parks, markets and festivals.

Apart from PLI and public hygiene certs, what license (if any) would I need to get from the relevant local authorities?

Answer 1

You won't be allowed to sell in any of the Royal Parks (Green, Hyde, St James etc.)

Answer 2

the best thing to do is contact the council of each borough you want to work in, as they may have slightly different requirements.

Answer 3

You would definately need a license. Try this site and see if it's any use :)
