Following a request from the Police, SCoop (the Streatham Common Co-operative) has been asked to close the Rookery Gardens and car park at the top of Streatham Common until further notice.
In a statement, Richard Payne SCoop's director said: "We are obviously disappointed not to be able to keep the Gardens open, but this is perhaps not surprising in the current circumstances. In recent days the Rookery has been an extremely popular destination, and given the size of the park it is now not possible to keep everyone safe."
The most necessary staff will be kept on site to maintain the gardens and there will be additional patrols during the day to keep an eye on the site.
All events in the park have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
Staff are continuing to be paid
