This bar on the Caledonian Road has been making a lot of noise and disturbing residents – it isn't licenced properly. Pappeo's has neither planning permission nor a permanent alcohol licence to be a bar and club. Pappeo's is now applying for a permanent alcohol and entertainment licence to provide music, films, dancing etc until midnight Monday to Thursday, until five the following morning on Friday and Saturday nights and until midnight on Sunday.
One neighbour who contacted this site says:
'…the area is a lot noisier late at night at the weekends. This is very annoying especially considering that the premises do not even have a proper license yet, imagine what it will be like if they were legally able to open all night. I am no killjoy and have no problem with a bar opening regular hours, but being open in a residential area until 5am is a joke.'
Paul Convery has covered the issue over on his councillor site and is driving the council to enforcement action. If you live nearby and want to comment on the application email the council – licensing@islington.gov.uk or write to the Licensing Team at 22 Upper Street N1 1XR. Give the name and address of the establishment and your reasons and write before 27 April.

If places like this can get around the law with “loop holes,” then I feel the Council (and we the residents), should use every trick under the sun to counter them.
Although I do not live in the immediate area, I would still be happy to do whatever is appropriate to object to either their license being granted or their planning application for any change of use to be approved.
Please advise!
what a nightmare its causing i for one wold love to see it shut down!
shut it down!
