BBQs in Islington’s public parks are now allowed after a ban on them was revoked by the council earlier this year.
This Summer, residents of Islington North London will be able to grill in peace, as the council have revoked their prohibition of grilling of food in its parks. Meanwhile residents of other boroughs may just have to smell the sweet scent of Islington’s victory against the ban, as places like Camden still consider the use of BBQs a safety hazard.
Parks can be the only place for some garden-less residents of the London town to enjoy BBQs, and the new rules allow everyone to enjoy a burger or two in places like Primrose Hill, Shoreditch Park and Highbury Fields, with the belief that residents can and will clean up and act responsibly. If you’re looking to celebrate with a grill up in your local park, or in your garden, why not check out these GO Outdoors BBQ’s?
