FILE PICTURE - Stephen Thorpe with his piece of the Berlin Wall in his Garden at his home in Herne Hill London. // A council has told a homeowner he will likely have to tear down the chunk of Berlin Wall in his garden - because it is "oppressive". Steven Thorpe, 65, bought a section of the famous wall for an undisclosed sum from a farmer in Germany and installed at his home in Herne Hill earlier this year. But neighbours annoyed they could see the top over their fence complained to Southwark Council ??? who have now said the "only option available" is "a planning enforcement notice". A letter written by a planning case officer dated July 2 and received by Mr Thorpe on July 4 says he considers the installation of the wall to be ???unacceptable??? and that it results in ???planning harm???. It adds that the ???3.6-metre??? tall section of wall, which weighs 2.75 tonnes, ???significantly exceeds the 2-metre height limit for gates, fences, walls or other means of enclosure??? under planning regulations. And it goes on to say that the planning enforcement notice "is likely to require the removal of the works". If Mr Thorpe does not comply he could face a fine of up to ??20,000. Mr Thorpe, a property developer, says he???s going to appeal the case officer???s decision and disputes the measurements quoted. Photo released 06/07/2026

Eel Pie Island and the river Thames at dusk in summer. Eel Pie Island has strong associations with, not surprizingly, eel pies and the birth of British R&B music. Today, the island is now largely residential but sustains a boat-building and craft workshop community. It also boasts a small bird sanctuary at its southern end. It remains connected to the mainland by a new bridge, though comfortably detached from the hurly-burly of Twickenham, for its residents.
