sorry kidkruger but its not just one night, we have been hearing them go off since fri, and last week or week before there was diwali which was another evening of them going off all night.


It will stop after tonight though so just have to bear with it for a few more hours susan, It is hard with small children though, I have 3yr and 8 month old who are usually sound asleep by 8pm and have only just gone off, really hard as I work from home in the evenings when they go to bed and ive basically given up trying since fri as i only just seem to get going and some lound bangs disturbs one of them!


ive just faced facts that after tonight hopefully order will resume.

If it was for one night okay, but it isn't. What's more, people don't seem to do their back garden stuff until 12-1 in the morning....why? I can almost guarantee there'll be more tonight too. It is never one night, for years now it goes on night after night. Don't care if it's Diwali, Guy Fawkes or Bill's Big Birthday- if you are going to let off fireworks it'd be real neighbourly to finish by 10-11pm.

How sad that, amongst certain members of the ED community, "bah humbug" isn't just for Christmas...


Guess what? Thousands of other ED residents don't have kids that demand a Blitz-like lockdown after 7pm. My 2-year-old was enjoying fireworks until 10pm last night, surrounded by family and loved ones. No doubt you think Social Services should be called?!


P.S. You were right about there being more fireworks tonight: at my gaff. Drop me a PM and I'll send you an invite. You never know, you might enjoy yourself.

edits to add - they go on for ages, people are enjoying them, children can watch or sleep through them I've found

Just echoing dicey, LadyDeliah, Kid Kruger, ultrauk. I actually saw this thread last night and thought it's only 10pm on actual bonfire night and someone is already complaining!!!! stop moaning and chill out, the world doesn't change and shouldn't change just because you have a baby!!!

My kids saw fireworks last night and later were worried about being able to sleep, but I made sure they'd had a big day (Barbican matinee, Museum of London, park, then big dinner and fireworks) so regardless of what they thought they'd be out like a light.

It's more realistic to manage what you can within the landscape than try to change the landscape via a Internet thread I find.

I'm sure such things are passed-on through genetic coding.. the adults who complain about fireworks going on late have children who don't like the fireworks going on late, who in-turn will surely grow into the adults who complain about the fireworks going on late.



'Our kid' slept soundly through the lot, of course and I can't say they bother me. Makes a pleasant change from the sounds of sirens and drunken shrieking.

Then why are they going off again tonight? Like someone else said in an earlier post, it's been going on since diwali, and really it isnt't fair to expect entire neighbourhoods to 'just grin an bear it'. Some kids will sleep through it, and a fair few will not, and repeated nights of not being able to get proper sleep can turn into weeks of not being able to sleep...agony for the kids, agony for the parents.


Onve a year? One looks forward to it. Once a year for 2 weeks? One does not.

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      I much prefer Romeo Jones to >spit< Gail's, but I'm struggling to blame this on the LTN when nothing outside Romeo Jones has changed, the LTN came in 5 (!!!) years ago, and Gail's has queues out the door most days. It also is directly opposite Rocca (which serves coffee and has seating), next door to Porters (which serves coffee and has seating), a few doors along from Real Greek (which serves coffee and has seating), and diagonally across from Gail's (which serves coffee and sells baked goods and has seating). I'll be sorry to see Romeo Jones go (not least because I have a stack of stamped loyalty cards). I don't want to criticise small business owners because it's a tough old racket, but DVillage never really seemed to find its niche either as a proper deli (like La Gastronomia or The Sicilian in West Dulwich) or as a coffee shop (which is difficult when you have Megan's and Redemption right next to you, and Au Ciel around the corner).

      Hopefully we will see something like Melbourne Grove, where all the shops that initially closed after the road closures were then replaced with new ones. I think all the units on that street are now finally open for business.

      Six new town houses on Melbourne Grove

      By ArchieCarlos · Posted

      Here's a working link: https://www.propertywire.com/news/london/circa-london-partners-with-developer-to-sell-9-6m-dulwich-townhouses-to-far-east-buyers/ I think they look quite nice from the outside which is what matters to me as a member of the public. The indoor floorplan is not to my taste with lots of awkward small floors, but I don't care about the inside as I don't plan on living in them.

      The Romeo Jones owner blames rising costs, but also the impact of the LTNs, which have significantly reduced footfall in the Village. It was a lovely, friendly place – a shame that it's only chains like Gail's that can afford to take rising costs on the chin.
