Yes you can

As long as it doesn't produce dark smoke (I.E. if burning plastics)


And as for bonfire being illegal , southwarks web site says you can report them if they are smoky but in general they aren't illegal unless causing a smoke nuisance (burning dry wood is fine , wet wood not)

They can not act on reports of the smell of a fire as smell is not part of the legislation.


It's an urban myth that southwark have banned bonfires as they don't have the authority to make that a regulation ..

It's not an urban myth! I'm sure if Southwark Council can close off an entire road then they can enforce bonfire regulations!


To the OP I would say please don't do it. I'm sure there are more environmentally friendly ways you could get rid of a piece of wood.

I agree...we are all living in increasingly cramped spaces and what with the vehicle pollution, noise pollution etc adding unnecessary pollution is just anti-social. I assume the OP has a garden- I put old wood at the back of mine and let it rot- you never know it may provide a home for insects or other wildlife...
