Transport for LondonAlcohol ban comes into force
The ban, which came into force yesterday, also covers carrying open containers of alcohol.
It will be extended to London Overground later this month and is fully supported by the British Transport Police and Metropolitan Police.
Mayor Boris Johnson announced the ban last month.
He said: 'I firmly believe that banning the drinking of alcohol on London's public transport will create a better travelling environment for all Londoners and that if we drive out antisocial behaviour and so called minor crime, then we will be able to get a firm grip on more serious crime.'
