A group of travellers have left Ealing Common following work to evict them by Ealing Council and Ealing Police .
Local policing team, Northfields SNT, shared this video footage on Twitter just after 2pm on Thursday (August 10).
Posting to Twitter, the force said: "Travellers all leaving #EalingCommon currently following eviction & partnership work with @EalingCouncil."
The caravans were seen on Ealing Common on Wednesday afternoon (August 9), after police confirmed they had removed a group from another site in Elthorne Park.
A spokesman from Ealing Council said it is working with the police to take "strong and immediate action against illegal encampments in the borough".
The spokesman added: "We carry out the checks and assessments the council is legally obliged to before serving encampments with a direction to leave, under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.
"Any failure to comply would see the council seek a removal order from magistrates court.
"There has been an increase in the number of unauthorised encampments nationally and the council is working hard to ensure the duration of such camps appearing in the borough is minimised."
