Hi Sue, by smoke free zone; I assume you mean a smoke control area. Logs can't be burnt in a smoke control area on an open fire, further information on what you can and can't burn can be found on the .gov website.

Even if you have a wood burning stove it needs to be an approved appliance - lots of cheaper wood burners aren't approved.


Zaraband, assuming you live in the vicinity of East Dulwich then you are most likely to live in a smoke control area since all of Southwark and Lambeth are smoke control areas.

And neighbour borough Lewisham is also a smoke control area.

Lewisham has consolidated it's 'smoke control order' and it's pretty clear what you can't, or shouldn't, do as the gov website link posted above shows.

I had a woodburner fitted, like a lot of people have done, purely to be able to burn logs, but it's obvious that lots more people are burning wood in open fireplaces now.

Might be worth thinking of the potential ?1,000+ fine for doing so as part of the cost of fitting a woodburner, which is a good investment if you want a nice log fire in the winter and keeps you within the law.

    • If you’ve got four quid spare, go and try one. Myself, I like the mozzarella and spinach, but there’s no accounting.
    • More of a Steak Bake kinda thing, then.
    • You might want to try the Peckham Facebook community group. I am located in East Dulwich & have 2 well-used scratchers: A large single post (ideal for an adult cat) & a small cat tree with 2 short posts (ideal for kittens) While the wear & tear is nowhere near as bad as the one shown in the link below, ideally the sisal should be replaced to get the best use out of it (& neutralise the scent of another cat) hence why I haven't donated these to a shelter. You may find this link helpful: https://thegreenmadhouse.com/diy/how-to-repair-your-cat-scratcher But you can just get a brand new one between £10-£30 on Amazon that'll last much longer. It all depends on what type of scratcher you're looking for; material, size, vertical or horizontal. Your little lion will let you know by whether they're currently scratching down or up, like a mat or armchair for example. More than happy to send location & leave in front garden for pickup.
    • Would happily take it off your hands! Preferably in Peckham. Thanks 🙏🏻
