The tree, which measures 6.1 puts around its trunk, is located near the house Whitewebbs Toby Carvery Car Parking inside the Whitewebbs Park.
The oak had affirmed the legs as dying and a risk to the public for tree experts used by the owner of the company Mitchells & Butlers, and was reduced on April 3, understands the AP news agency.
Enfield’s Council reported yesterday the matter to the Metropolitan Police and said that it was not informed of planned felling and that it was treated as criminal damage.
He has also put an emergency preservation order instead at the basis of the stump.
Mitchells & Butlers defended the decision, saying that he acted with the advice of the experts in trees employed.
Environmental activists and premises have denounced logging as “distressing.”
Woodland Trust has been asking for legal protection for the oldest and most important trees in the country.
His campaign manager, Adam Cormack, said the loss of the tree was “devastating.”
He added: “This view of depression is a reminder for all of us that not all old trees are in a safe place.
“Whitebbs House is where the plot of gunpowder was planned. The last estimates placed the tree in about 450 years for the tree to have life in the leg when Guy Fawkes and Ethers arrived in the months prior to November 5, 1605.
“It is possible that the tree has heard Guy Fawkes and his conspirators.”
The remains of Whitewebbs Park oak, surrounded by their cut limbs, were discovered by the council workers last week and now an order to preserve emergency trees has been imposed at the base of their bacon.
The oak is located in the Top 100 of the 600,000 London oaks for size and could be up to 500 years.
Benny Hawksbee, local biologist and president of Guardians of Whitewebbs, said: “This is horrible, even more distressing when combined with the imminent destruction of the Whitewebbs Park.
“This ancient oak is monumental; visiting it in person, feels wise, after having witnessed so much about its useful life of up to 500 years. I cannot imagine what kind of person decimating a tree like this.
“An old oak can support more than 2,000 species, which means that thousands of living beings have just lost their home. No living being deserves this.
“I feel too sad and angry, and also scared for what can come later if we cannot stop who has done this destruction this time.
“We must save and protect our vital and fundamental support for life, our green trees and spaces.”
The leader of the Enfield Council, Cllr Erbil, said: “The Council was not informed of this incident until last week.
“Our equipment immediately made a complete inspection of the site to assess the damage after receiving the damage caused to the tree.
“We are agreeing on the matter as a criminal damage and we have informed the police. We have now placed legal protection (order of tree preservation) in the tree and we are looking for ways to help you grow again.”
Enfield Council and Toby Carvery have been contacted to comment.
