London is Moving into Tier 2 Lockdown Restrictions. Londoners will be allowed to meet outdoors in groups of six from 2 December, the government has announced.
Non-essential pubs, restaurants, entertaintment venues are re-opening.
London is open for a haircut, a coffee, a pint, a movie, and much more, helping the businesses that make our city the best in the world get back on their feet.
As lockdown eases further, we must all keep playing our part to control the spread of COVID-19. Please go out and support Londonâs brilliant local businesses and cultural attractions. But, when doing so, always remember that lives are still at stake.
Please stick to the rules, act responsibly, and stay safe at all times.
As the Mayor of London announced, many businesses and venues can reopen.
*** All non-essential retail can open. Remember you must wear a face-covering in shops unless you have an exemption.
*** Gyms, leisure centres, sports facilities can open. Organised indoor sport and exercise classes can resume, but you must not socially mix with others you do not live who (or are not in your support bubble).
***Hairdressers, barbers, and beauty services can open.
*** Restaurants and cafes can open. Pubs and bars can also open, but only if they are operating as restaurants with table service. All hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals.
*** All hospitality venues must stop taking orders at 10pm and close by 11pm. Deliveries and takeaways can continue until later.
*** Cinemas, museums, theatres and other entertainment venues can open, but they must close at 11pm.
*** You can attend both indoor and outdoor events like performances and shows, and to watch spectator sport. Capacity will continue to be limited.
