Primrose Hill temporary overnight closures at weekends

From Friday 5 April, Primrose Hill will be temporarily closed to the public at weekends from 10pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings until 6am the following morning, until further notice.

The closures follow the same schedules implemented over the past three years during the British Summer Time daylight savings period, as the park gets busier during the warmer months, and on ad hoc days depending on operational need.

The Royal Parks works closely with the Metropolitan Police Service, which is responsible for enforcing any response to crime or antisocial behaviour.
