Re: Application for hamburger stall in front of King's College, Cambridge
Sorry to tell you we can't give you a licence.

Many people think it's a particularly picturesque view.
We don't normally let people sell things in areas where tourists take pics.
The college authorities have said they don't want a stall there - litter and fumes.
We've received similar applications, and we've always said no.
You said in your letter you had 3 possible sites.
You should think about approaching Cambridge United Football Club.
If you decide to do so, apply directly to them.
Please write to us to say you've received this letter - we need to be sure.

(2) unable to issue you with a licence to set up a hamburger

picturesque in England, and we do not normally

fumes. In the past we have received a large number of applications for trade
access to this site, and in each case access has been

was one of three you had in mind. You might like
