Youths are renting out a flat in Bromley to host “drug-fuelled parties” into the early hours – and those living next door have had enough.

Neighbours say that the situation in West Street has become “catastrophic” since number 27 was listed on Booking.com.

They have called Metropolitan Police and Bromley Council multiple times over noise and antisocial behaviour at the events, but claim nothing has been done to shut them down.

Wioletta Pawlowska, who lives alone next door to the property, described the parties as drug-fuelled and “dangerous”, but said she felt powerless to stop them.

She first contacted Bromley Council in August, and believed that the situation had improved after there were no major disturbances during the following month.

But according to Wioletta, two weeks ago there were three large gatherings of up to 50 youths within the space of four days.

It was at these events that she claims she witnessed youths climbing into her back garden, as well as shouting, fighting, drinking and drug-taking on the street outside the home.

“If the council cannot do anything and if the police cannot do anything then how can I live like this,” Wioletta explained.

“I cannot accept this behaviour. I saw people rolling a joint and smoking marijuana.

“They make a mess, and you can see how much laughing gas they used. I did not sleep the whole night.”

The Metropolitan Police has confirmed that they responded to reports of noise disturbances at large gatherings in West Street on both October 25 and the following day.

Officers reported that they provided “noise reduction advice” on the first evening, but that there was “no evidence of any criminal offence taking place”.

The next day, police attended the scene again, but officers said there was no crowd in the street.

A spokesperson for the Met said: “We understand the impact antisocial behaviour can have on residents and officers from the Bromley safer neighbourhoods team will review this incident and contact the victim to discuss this issue further.”

It is understood that the property used to be listed on Airbnb, but that it was suspended over a year ago.

Wioletta claims she was told by council officers who visited on the same evening as the police that the property was now being rented out on Booking.com.

A listing described as ‘West Residence Bromley’ located in West Street can be found on the website. One of the photos of the accommodation shows that the front door number is 27B.

The property can be booked for around £150 a night for six people – but specifies that it will not allow “hen, stag or similar parties”.

Wioletta was recently given a phone number by a cleaner who was working in the home after one of the parties. She was told this number would get her through to the cleaner’s “boss”.

When the News Shopper rang up, a woman, who did not give her name, answered the phone.

Responding to allegations that there were repeated issues with noise from guests at the property, the woman said: “As soon as I do get told, I do go straight down and evacuate everybody out.

“I don’t really have much else to say on the issue apart from I’m just doing everything I can in my power.”

After the News Shopper asked her to confirm that she was the owner of the property, the line went dead. Two subsequent messages and a voicemail sent to the same number went unanswered.

A spokesperson for Bromley Council said it was aware of reports having been made about the property, and confirmed that "in some instances" council officers attended. 

They added: "If a report is made, to take formal enforcement action, we need the resident to collect supporting evidence in the form of a diary record, without this supporting evidence of frequent disturbance, the investigation cannot proceed to enforcement.”
