That's true, but it really isn't that it's "not illegal" -- it's that it's illegal if you "alarm, distress or annoy" someone else. It basically means that there is sort of a mushy, great, big grey area. It results in some arbitrary enforcement, and the police can ask you to cover up, and if you don't, then suddenly you're annoying and harassing people. I think the basic gist is that if you are on what is commonly considered a nude beach, you're cool. If you're out in the street, they're going to ask you to cover up, and if you don't, they'll send you down to the Old Bailey for a visit.Pappa wrote:It's not illegal to be naked in public in the UK.

I have no desire to go nude as I'm quite comfortable with social norms, but it just seems insane that you could actually go to prison for not wearing clothes...
It's a very English sort of law - very common law-ish.
