Bromley Council has said they will end the illegal encampment at Churchfields Recreation Ground as soon as possible.
A tweet from Bromley MPS wrote: "A group of ‘travellers’ have broken into Churchfields Recreation Ground and have set up an illegal camp in Beckenham.
"Local residents reports that they are of Irish descent."
Councillor Kate Lymer, executive councillor for public protection and enforcement, said: "As soon as we become aware of this encampment, in Churchfields Recreation ground, we started the various legal processes to end the encampment as quickly as possible.
"Whilst frustratingly this process takes longer than we would like, we are in the process of using our powers to end this illegal incursion.”
