The Sekforde pub in Clerkenwell faced potential licensing changes due to noise complaints from neighbors. Following a review by Islington Council and overwhelming public support, with 1,300 backing the pub, many suggested changes were not imposed. While the pub must continue to manage noise, such as keeping windows closed during busy months, outdoor drinking will remain permitted. The landlord expressed gratitude for community support, emphasizing a positive outlook for the pub's future, potentially lasting another 200 years in the community.
