Greenwich park is the worst I've seen (within running distance of deptford) for complete failure of social distancing, I've had to stop going there because of all the groups of clearly different families hanging out & having a chat, blocking all the crossings.
Strange, I thought Greenwich Park was pretty quiet yesterday, particularly given the nice weather. It was largely dog-walkers, joggers and parents with very young children. Nowhere near as busy as you would normally expect.
Interestingly, the Police were stopping people parking on the roads around the Park, which suggests the problem is not locals (who by and large love and respect the Park), but people who drive in from out of the area.
No worries.
I'd have traded a kidney for a garden to have a bbq and a beer today. Totally understand that the park is all that some people have.
I'm not offended by seeing people in the park. The vast majority of people i saw today were doing their best to distance themselves. Its just frustrating to see so many people who haven't clicked that they should be limiting time outside to an absolute bare minimum and clearly are not.
I appreciate the guidelines are vague and a household sitting on the grass for a couple of hours isn't an issue. I do worry it becomes more of an issue when you have 500 households sitting on the grass, even if there is theoretically 2m between them.
