General views of Waterlow Park in Highgate, London. Release date April 11 2025. A council has been forced to ban BBQs in a popular park despite soaring temperatures after locals claimed revellers were littering, fighting - and pooing in the bushes. Camden Council said on Wednesday (April 9) it will no longer allow barbecues in Waterlow Park in Highgate, north London - due to 'parties' gathering in hot weather and disturbing other users. The announcement followed a petition by residents, who pushed for a ban amid concerns around pollution and the impact on the grass and wildlife. One local claimed "massive events" were bringing in a "huge influx of people" who were "playing very loud music, burning barbecues in both the designated and undesignated zones" - and even "defecating in the bushes" and "fighting".
