Luxury Leisure has submitted a licensing application to Wandsworth Borough Council for a new 24-hour Admiral AGC in Putney town centre.

The prominent High Street unit has remained vacant for almost four years, and first received planning approval in December 2024.

“The plans will put a high street premises that is boarded up and has been vacant since 2022 back into commercial use,” said barrister Gary Grant.

“We know what we’re doing. We know how to operate these venues without in any way undermining the licensing objectives.”

Grant made the statement in response to local objections, which he said were based on “speculative concerns” that had no bearing on the venue’s operation.

“Admiral is a highly-experienced operator of adult gaming centres and none of the roughly 300 shops it runs in the UK have been subject to a licence review for failing to uphold its duties.”
