How late and how loud is an outdoor party allowed/ should it go? Last night party on Friern went mto 4:30am Sunday morning. I've done a voice poll and I'm surprised most respondents don't care how loud or long their neighbours party goes on in the garden.

I walked past this one at around 2am and it was very noisy...there are guidelines on acceptable noise levels, for both businesses (who must be licensed) and residents (who must abide by the terms of their tenancy or local bye laws).


In future call the noise pollution team on 020 7525 5777. They operate until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays.

The trouble is that if everyone has a 'one off' then it would be every night of the year.

In my book 1am is OK on a Friday/Saturday as long as it's just talking not a DJ rousing the crowd. Any later is not on. Might be fine for those in modern houses with triple glazing but for most of us in ED with single glazed windows and airbricks in many flats the sound travels just too easily.

Anyone still making a racket at 4pm deserves a garden hose full blast over the fence. (Oops sorry, I was woken up by the noise so I thought I'd do some watering to pass the time)

Surely at a normal bbq you want to get rid of all your guests around 11pm - before they start blowing chunks from the food poisoning?


Anyway, it does sound a leetle annoying and a good number of people would no doubt be annoyed. But then a good number of people tend to suffer from a severe case of selective memory when it comes to their own occasional drunken indiscretions, long past or present.

Premises that apply for licenses based in residential areas (and not on a high street) would never be granted an entertainments license beyond 1am at weekends (unless they had extensive sound proofing) so why should people be expected to tolerate excessive noise from a house party? The party the OP is talking about could be heard all the way from the middle of Peckham Rye Park.....I think that is more than a bit unreasonable at any am, let alone 3 or 4 am.

I live next door to some very trashy neighbors, they go away and let their teenagers run riot, have had several late nights where I cant go to sleep in my own house, I have now found out how to go about getting them an ASBO. They have no consideration for anyone so cant wait to get Police/Southwark council in the next time this happens, give the little darlings their first ASBO


11pm is an acceptable cut off time for a Party.

11.30pm?!! Gosh I went to a 40th birthday party at the weekend, which was outdoor in the garden of a perfectly 'respectable' businessman's house. I didn't even ARRIVE until 3am and I reckon the last person went to bed about 10am. The only thing that annoys me about a neighbour bangin on till the small hours is if they have the audacity to NOT invite me!


Haven't you lot heard of earplugs? I mean if it's every night, fair enough, call the noise police, but a one off a couple times a year... For God sake, if you can't beat them, join them!
