Execution? For heaven’s sake, it’s a tree that’s very likely diseased and/or hazardous to humans. The council will replace it and there’s nothing at all stopping anyone from planting their own either. Go to the Wildlife Centre on Marsden Road and buy £3 treelets and plant away! Or grow them from pips/acorns etc. These are much better forms of action than typing something to send into the ether.

1) it's not the council that is cutting the tree down. It's the company owned by the flats in the block behind.

2) the tree is riddled with fungus - there is a arboriculture report that shows this. People don't spend thousands to cut trees down for no reason.

3) it's not a matter for Southwark Council because Tulse Hill is in Lambeth...

It is.  I'm attaching a copy of pp.1-6 of the Tree Condition Report, for the background information.  You can get the full report (5.4MB) from the above link.  At page 13 is the succinct:

5 Recommendations

5.1 T1 – Cedar of Lebanon – fell to ground level as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Summary:

"5.1 The cedar tree is aged and fully mature. It has, in times past, split along the axis of the main union between the two leading stems. This in itself, has caused the tree to become hazardous.
 

5.2 Fungal colonisation by the brown-rotting Dyer’s Mazegill has weakened the root-plate so that it can no longer safely anchor and support the tree. Secondary colonisation has significantly degraded the inner trunk wood and continues to do so.
 

5.3 I conclude, with regret, that the tree is now unsafe and in the first stages of structural failure. Due to its location in an area of high vehicular and pedestrian use it cannot be safety retained."
