when did pubs stop closing in the afternoon?
the late 1980s
after the outbreak of world war i the defence of the realm act was passed by parliament in 1914. one section of the act concerned the hours pubs could sell alcohol, as it was believed that alcohol consumption would interfere with the war effort. it restricted opening hours for licensed premises to luncheon (12:00 to 14:40) and supper (18:30 to 22:30). in the late 1980s the licensing laws in england and wales became less restricted and allowed pubs to allow the consumption of alcohol on the premises from 11:00 until 23:00, although nightclubs were allowed to stay open much later. significantly revised rules were introduced in november 2005, when hour limits were scrapped, and pubs were allowed to apply for licences as permissive as "24 hours a day". in practice, most pubs chose not to apply for licences past midnight.
