Britain’s number of licensed premises has fallen by 0.6% in the last year despite modest growth in the third quarter of 2025, according to the latest Hospitality Market Monitor from CGA by NIQ.
The country had 99,296 licensed venues at September 2025, having recorded 572 net closures in 12 months, or 11 every week. It means there are now 15,812 or 14.2% fewer premises than at March 2020—the fallout from the COVID crisis and the sustained high inflation and weak consumer spending that has followed.
