Anti Social Behaviour Concern Update - BURTON STREET, WC1H 9AL

Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

 

Following reports of antisocial behaviour and drug offences, officers from Bloomsbury Ward team have undertaken enforcement action at an address in Burton Street, WC1H 9AL.

As of the 15th July 2025 this has resulted in two arrests, and authority to implement an emergency closure order for a period of up to forty-eight hours. We are working collaboratively with Camden Council in order to put in place a longer-term strategy for this address, in order to put an end to the antisocial behaviour that has affected residents and the wider community.

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

If you have witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour, you can report it online.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.  

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
