Advice for Primrose Hill visitors during the Lunar New Year

The Royal Parks and the Metropolitan Police Service remind visitors not to bring fireworks or paper lanterns to Primrose Hill during Lunar New Year, which takes place this year from 10 to 24 February.

Fireworks and lanterns are not permitted in any of the Royal Parks, including Primrose Hill, as they can cause damage, litter, and noise disturbances.

Visitors are also urged to respect the park and their fellow visitors by taking litter home or placing it in the bins provided.

Nick Biddle, Park Manager for The Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill, said: 

“We welcome considerate visitors to Primrose Hill.

“Please respect the park and residents from the surrounding area by not organising a large gathering on Primrose Hill or letting off your own fireworks or lanterns. If the bins are full, please take litter home with you.

“Please enjoy the view safely. If you notice anything suspicious, please contact the police on 101 or if it is an emergency call 999.”
