Wine in parks - London? England?

[Owlman]

Do the authorities permit wine to be consumed in parks in London? In
England, in general?

Thanks for your help.

I meant to indicate that the wine would be consumed at a picnic--not
just wholesale guzzling. :-)

The main control on alcohol in Britain in general is a Designated Public
Place Order. These are applied for by local authorities and make it an
offence not to stop drinking in a public place, if required to do so by a
Police officer. The main purpose is to give the Police powers to control
anti-social drinkers and to confiscate alcohol from them. There will be
notices stating you are entering an alcohol control zone at the edges of the
area covered.

Travelling with a friend in B.C.Canada last year I was amazed when he
filled up in a country station and the attendant not only filled the
tank but cleaned the windscreen AND offered to check the oil. Seemed
like something from the 1950s.

Back then, I think they still had their own bakery.
