The council has visited a travelling group which set up a camp in Walton.
An Elmbridge Council spokesman said: "Following the unauthorised gypsy/traveller encampment at Thamesmead Recreation Ground the council gypsy/traveller liaison officer visited on May 15 to undertake a welfare assessment required under the legal protocol for dealing with unauthorised gypsy/traveller sites."
A court date has been set for a removal order.
