The City of London Corporation has made a Designation Order under the provisions of the above
legislation to come into effect on
1 January 2008
The Designation Order means that if a police constable reasonably believes that a person is, or has
been consuming intoxicating liquor within the designated public place or intends to consume
intoxicating liquor in such place then the constable may require the person concerned:-
(a) Not to consume in the place anything which is, or which the constable reasonably believes to be,
intoxicating liquor;
(b) To surrender anything in that person’s possession which is, or which the constable reasonably
believes to be, intoxicating liquor or a container for such liquor (other than a sealed container)
and the constable may dispose of anything surrendered in such manner as the constable considers
appropriate.
A person who fails without reasonable excuse to comply with a requirement imposed on that person
commits an offence. The maximum penalty on conviction will be a fine not exceeding level 2 on the
standard scale currently £500.
The effects detailed above apply equally at all times to persons outside the following categories of

during the times they are being used for the sale of alcohol and within 30 minutes thereafter.

premises may be used by the club for the supply of alcohol.

v) Premises which by virtue of a Temporary Event Notice under Part 5 of the Licensing Act 2003,
