Due to the ongoing high temperatures some areas and facilities within the parks may be closed, and we ask visitors to help us prevent wildfires.

📢 The Met Office has issued a red extreme heat warning for London, covering all parks and green spaces. The warning is in effect from 9am on Wednesday 24 June until 9pm on Thursday 25 June.

During this period of high temperatures, we have issued an urgent ‘care alert’ to all park visitors, reminding them to stay in the shade, stay out of the water and refrain from having BBQs in the parks which could easily start the spread of wildfire.

Due to these high temperatures we have temporarily closed some areas and facilities within the parks. Find out more by reading on below 🔽

📢 As we welcome everyone to the parks to enjoy the warmer weather this weekend, we want to offer a reminder around the increased risk of wildfires due to these higher temperatures and dry ground.

❌ Please remember that BBQs are not permitted in the parks, and make sure that cigarette ends are completely out and properly disposed of.

🔥 Fires in the parks put people in danger, cause devastating harm to wildlife, damage to landscapes and habitats, and a strain on the emergency services.

🚒 If you do spot a fire in the park then use what3words to give an exact location to London Fire Brigade.

🚮 Visitors are also reminded to take litter home or place it in bins as glass bottles increase the risk of a fire.

🏊 Finally, although you may be looking for ways to keep cool, swimming in any lake or waterbody within the Royal Parks is forbidden apart from in the Serpentine Lido at designated times.

🙌 Your cooperation helps us keep the parks safe for all to enjoy.

📢 Brompton Cemetery is first and foremost a cemetery and a place of remembrance.

While it is also a much-loved green space, we remind all visitors to respect others and help us protect this historic natural landscape by following the park regulations so that it remains a safe, peaceful, and welcoming environment for all.

We urge visitors to keep dogs on leads and to walk them along designated paths, and for cyclists to share the space considerately.

Any antisocial behaviour disturbs visitors, including those paying their respects, and damages the cemetery’s sensitive habitats and historic features.

If you see any criminal or antisocial behaviour, report it to the police on 101, or call 999 in an emergency.

Thank you for helping us maintain the dignity, tranquillity, and heritage of Brompton Cemetery.
