Khan Criticizes Westminster Rules on Vertical Drinking
London mayor Sadiq Khan has criticized Westminster council's refusal to lift restrictions on vertical drinking and its "cumulative impact zone," which limit new pub and bar licenses in Soho.

The council argues that these measures are aimed at public safety and supporting existing businesses, while Khan emphasizes their negative impact on nightlife and the local economy.
