Southwark Guy Fawkes night

5 November 2011

Time: 6pm - 7.30pm


Location: Bermondsey Park


Cost: Free


Southwark Council's traditional firework display in Bermondsey Park.


Set in the stunning 63 acre Bermondsey Park at the south end near the running track.


As well as the much-loved rockets, roman candles and sparklers the council is also set to provide food and novelty stalls, a mulled wine and spiced cider bar and children's funfair rides.

Or in other words set as far away from ED as Southwark council possibly could. Go to Lambeth's Brockwell party instead - that's local.

is 'bermondsey park' really southwark park or is it somewhere else?

But last year was rainy for lots of the month - apart from the last 24 hours the ground is pretty parched. The Muddy Hell event at the velodrome last week had to make the ground muddier in certain places to cope with the dry weather.


And the Sports Ground event wasn't that crowded on the other side of the bonfire last year - people chose to congregate closer to the bars etc. rather than to spread into the field.


Either way, I'll be in Brockwell Park.

Same here, though I hope they've sorted out the way they get people out of the park at the end of the event.


The last time they had a display there it took what seemed like hours to disperse the crowd.


Everybody was trying to cross the main road, there were massive bottlenecks at at least two different gates, and they really should have had police or other officials controlling the traffic at the relevant crossings.

And in a tribute to the pagan origins of the night we will burn you inside a wicker cup-cake to appease the rain/snow Gods.

      I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.

      I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?

      Brockwell Lido - in a miserable state

      By Katherty · Posted

      I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.

      Didn't engage him in conversation but I think he was just 'collecting' for a 'charity' - without ID or anything else. Something to do with rehabilitation. They don't seem to bother with dusters. Which is probably a blessing.
