LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 17: A pedunculate oak, 'Quercus robur', known locally as the 'Guy Fawkes Oak' is cordoned off after being felled on April 17, 2025 on the edge of Whitewebbs Park in the Enfield area of London, England. The owners of an adjacent restaurant, Toby Carvery, said they had the 450-year-old tree felled due to safety concerns. The local council disputes that the tree, which sits on land leased to Toby Carvery by the council, needed to be felled and has threatened legal action over the matter.
