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...

    • I have swum in it several times since it's reopened.  No problems.  The sand stuff is a bit off-putting but like all pools they'll have to test and log the water quality regularly so I think it's unlikely to be a health issue.  The water is clearer than a pool I use regularly near my work - also with no issues.
    • After looking through a few decorator recommendations on here and getting some quotes, I hired Kam to paint ceiling, walls, door, skirting etc in my hallway and bathroom. Really happy with the results and the experience with Kam. He is professional, friendly and polite: someone I was happy and comfortable to have in my home (I live on my own and this is not always the case) and implicitly trusted to be there when I was away. The price was reasonable, his communication was great and he was patient with some changes I wanted to make and willing to try painting tiled floors with a particular paint I found and worked meticulously to get a great finish with it and all aspects of the job.  He also went above and beyond to tidy up some painting jobs I'd done myself. Thoroughly recommend.   Kam: 07949507412 email: [email protected]
