No, the steps are not enclosed, but if they are private property belonging to College Hall and they can make any rules they like on their own property. Similarly, a pub can have a no-smoking garden, if it wants to because even though its an open public space - ie open to the public - it is also private property and the owner can make his own rules.

: Hi Michael,
:
: Many thanks for your tip. So
: "enclosed" is the
: keyword, isn't it? I've
: already reserved a room at
: College Hall, UCL for the
: summer, and I'm prepared for
: the prohibition against
: smoking there. What I don't
: understand, however, is that
: in the information pamphlet of
: the College Hall, it says that
: "smoking is not allowed
: anywhere at College Hall, nor
: on the steps outside the front
: door." The steps outside
: the front door are surely not
: enclosed public space, but
: they say smoking is
: prohibited. Where should I
: smoke then?
