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...

    • Great idea! Yes, I think the SE22 curry club died a death. The restaurants were all much of a muchness at the time anyway, apart from Ganapati. Nyge and I were also recently  discussing whether people would be interested if we restarted  the Forum Drinks. They used to be fun, but I think the main organiser moved out of the area, as did some others,  and nobody else was very keen on taking it on.  Unless they are still happening covertly 🤣 If memory serves they were monthly, and in a different pub each time. It was good to be able to meet people in real life who post on the forum. I might start a separate thread at some point to see if anyone would be interested.
    • Really?! No wonder they still had so many left when we passed! What were they? How much did they want for them?! That seems an extremely strange way of enticing people into a new shop! 
    • I saw my GP at The Gardens on Wednesday, had blood tests yesterday at Tessa Jowell (not the surgery, the blood testing place)  and had a text from my GP surgery this afternoon with the results. Your experience sounds appalling.
    • Yes, The Gardens is excellent and often recommended on here!
