main content Street trading

We run a successful street trading scheme in Bromley, which ensures activities are well coordinated and adds to the vibrancy of our town centres.

If you want to trade on our streets, in the first instance, you will need to apply for a temporary street trading licence.  Alternatively, if you want to report illegal street trading, please use the on-line form below.

Details

There are over 20 licensed street traders around the borough, selling a variety of goods, including flowers, fruit, vegetables and ice cream. Street traders’ pitches are marked out on the pavement and should display a licence plate.

If you would like to apply for a temporary street trading licence, an application form is available here.  You can also see full details of proposed licence fees and charges.

Please note that, from 1st December 2007, illegal street traders could receive fixed penalty notices (fines).  The table below shows the level of fines and offences for which they can be received.
