Square Mile pubs and restaurants are being told they will be fined for allowing mixed-household Christmas parties in a tough clampdown by the City of London Corporation.
The Square Mile’s governing body issued the warning as London faces the threat of moving into Tier 3: Very High alert, as coronavirus cases rise across the capital.
City Corporation Licensing Team and Environmental Health Officers are visiting the venues to check they are following COVID-secure rules, and will issue fixed penalty notices of up to £4,000 to premises breaking the regulations.
