London
London Region
The London region covers all 32 London boroughs and is the busiest licensing area in the country. We are proud to have as our members licensing, environmental health and planning officers from all the London authorities, the Metropolitan and City of London police services, the London Fire Brigade, licensing lawyers and consultants and hospitality and leisure sector operators.
The region has a committee of six officers, who you can find more about below under “Team”.
We meet at least three times a year, mainly in live meetings and sometimes online, and we have been pleased to host speakers from all across the sector.
If you are a licensing practitioner or professional living or working in the London region, you can join the Institute to become a regional member.
IoL members have access to a range of resources online, and can join their regional groups, register their interest in specific areas of licensing law via our Special Interest Groups, engage in discussions via the IoL members’ forum and more.
