What are they doing that  is illegal?

Unregulated fundraising.
 

To start with;

They're not registered as the right type of organisation that can do street collecting, which they could register as but that would expose them to more responsibilities and liability.

They don't have permission from the property owners and aren't following any Fundraising Regulator guidelines.

I’ve got no idea are those criminal offences or civil offences? 
How can cic organisations do street collections? If that is what they are doing.
Shops do not own the full width of the pavement and therefore do not have rights over the full width of the pavement Southwark Council do of course
