Bromley Council say “robust action” will be taken after a number of caravans appeared on land in Penge.
Travellers are believed to have started their illegal encampment on Royston Field on Tuesday.
Kate Lymer, executive councillor for public protection and enforcement, said: “As soon as we become aware of any encampment where the council is responsible for the land, robust action is always taken to end any encampment as quickly as possible.
“We became aware of this illegal encampment late on Tuesday afternoon and naturally we are starting the legal processes to end this illegal incursion.”
