People living in a makeshift shantytown in Edmonton have been evicted from the site.
The River Lea Anglers club claimed people were living illegally in shelters in woodland off Advent Way, Upper Edmonton, and had been intimidating passersby and members of the club.
Following the story in the Enfield Independent last month, senior officer Master Marsh at the High Court granted Transport for London possession of the site on October 3.
On Friday, TfL formally removed the people living there. A spokesman said: “We have worked with a multi-agency group, which included the local police service, to successfully co-ordinate the removal of the people who were unlawfully occupying our land near Cooks Ferry roundabout in Edmonton.
“Everyone has now left our site and we, along with the other authorities, will carry out spot checks to prevent their return. We are now undertaking the huge task of cleaning up the site and will continue to do so over the coming days.”
