Yep, so:
1. Carry anywhere you like, excluding private property with their own rules – has to be cutting length of 76 mm or less, non-locking and not on the official banned list (flick knives, gravity knives and so on).
2. Carry with “good reason”, which the onus is on you to demonstrate – longer and locking blades.

It stays in position, but I guess it doesn't lock.
I tried to close it and I'm a bit worried my clumsier other half is going to chop a finger off, though!

Oligarchs torches are great, generally. I have one from about 3 or 4 years ago so there will be new models no doubt but generally can’t go wrong. Mine charges through USB which is good for in the car on the way to an adventure.
Hennie Heinnes is a great website for such things.
Edit: I am sure Oligarchs have really good torches, maybe even a flunky to hold it for them, but I of course meant Olight Torches....!

I've got a locking blade that is apparently technically illegal... although you can buy it in a UK shop, so. I have carried it belt mounted for years and nothing has ever happened.
Provided you don't wave it about in public, no one will even notice.
Regards the torch, I bought an Olight yonks back for camping etc and it's alright. But tbh, I usually end up reaching for my (cheaper) LED Mini Mag and that's the one I take out dog walking etc.

I could write a small book on the things I've accumulated in recent months which ease the passage of work I've fallen into now.
I've got tweezers, Leathermen, huge fuck off knives, small, socially okay knives, titanium clippy things to keep my keys organised, zippy wallets, zippy pouches for first aid and pills, torches, and so on. There isn't a situation where this guy is left scratching his head, no sir.
But I have my own mill shop stacked with every piece of scary woodworking machinery ever devised and thousands of feet of exotic hardwood overlooking a busy lumberyard stacked with building materials, so it's all pretty essential in some way or another. It's by far the manliest job I've ever had, so I have the manliest EDC I could muster. And my eyebrows are exquisite, thank you for asking.

Is there any law against wearing bandoliers across your chest, packed with Lindt chocolate balls (original milk or white chocolate, no satanic dark chocolate here) and cream crackers?
No? Great, thank you for coming to this glimpse of my future

Only on special occasions; the shelf life of the bandolier contents is an important factor.
Wouldn't want to be walking around with my bandoliers smelling like rancid sausages.
I have enough problems as it is

IME a bandolier of rancid sausages can solve most problems.
