Mostly smells like garden waste. Have smelt some really toxic shit as well, I recognise MDF and plywood smell. also loads of barbeques.

So many BBQ!
Read a thing recently that badly sourced/non managed plantations/low quality charcoaling production is one of the largest new polluters. Coming from countries where a lot of folk live with no electricity or gas for cooking, so using charcoal, multiple by a few million people and you have one quiet large problem. Also companies copying packaging of legit charcoal producers (who go to a lot of effort/expense/legislation dropped upon them to be as clean as is possible in that process), some end up in UK shops which I was surprised/not surprised by.
Propane BBQ it is then, that 90's american cartoon was ahead of the curve somehow -
Lots of councils have started charging for garden waste.. dumping and burning are just results of that policy. Driven by funding cuts from central governments.
There has been massive reduction of green waste anyways. Driveways paved over and rear garden astroturf. Even replica planting.
All very sad and causing huge draining issues most people haven't built the required soakaways.

Apart from the standard "building under development caught fire" type firea, haven't seen many in Glasgow. Must be a London thing, what are they burning, garden waste or all that paperwork thats been gathering by the bin since last year that needs burnt/shredded and not recycle?
