Landlord licensing in Fitzrovia, Westminster.
Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Fitzrovia, Westminster this is City of Westminster, which, in common with other London boroughs, may run a combination of property licensing schemes, including selective licensing covering specific streets or wards as well as wider schemes that can apply to shared and rented homes more generally.

Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with City of Westminster. Unlicensed lettings risk civil penalties and rent repayment orders.
