Greenwich Park

📢 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.

Today marks the start of Drowning Prevention Week, led by the Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK – our trusted water safety partner here at The Royal Parks.

If you’re visiting the parks, especially during the warmer weather, please remember to stay safe around water:

🛟 Always swim in a lifeguarded area – swimming is only allowed at The Serpentine Lido in Hyde Park
🛟 Never enter the water alone
🛟 Cold water shock can affect anyone, even when the weather’s warm – enter the water slowly
🛟 If you see someone in trouble, call 999 – don’t enter the water to rescue

Help us keep everyone safe by sticking to designated areas, respecting guidance around our lakes and water bodies and following the Water Safety Code.
