Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

The MPS does not hold direct records of the number of licenced premises in London. For the most up to date data you would need to contact the relevant London borough councils. They are the authorities who issue licences, and therefore would hold the necessary records.

840 venues have received WAVE training since the MPS began keeping records. This only includes WAVE training delivered by the MPS.
