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...

    • Hello, I'm from Ireland and would love my children to be able to know the language - I can speak it but I'm not so good at teaching it. If there's anyone local who used to teach Irish at primary school (preferably Connemara Irish) and who'd like to tutor 3 boys aged 7-10 for an hour or two a week please do let me know. Thanks, Sarah
