Fireworks last night

[embracefinancial]

Did anyone hear the fireworks last night and know what they were in aid of? I was woken at 1am by a full-on firework display that lasted for a good 10 mins. I'm at the Peckham Rye end of ED. Usually I sleep through anything but this was loud, and I thought that a 1am firework display was a bit strange.

I saw a lot of discussion about it elsewhere  online somewhere this morning, but I can't now trace where.

People heard it and were woken by it around  a wide area, including all parts of East Dulwich and Camberwell.

Very antisocial, so late and on a school night.

I'm in East Dulwich and heard them in the distance and also wondered what they were celebrating.

It was mentioned on Nuhead Rocks Facebook page. It woke me up too!

I heard it as well, woke me up, very strange.  I don't care for myself but I do worry for people with children and animals, it is a nuisance and happens more and more nowadays.

I was also woken by this. It happened in two bursts, which felt even more anti social.

Does anyone know where the fireworks were actually coming from?

If from someone's garden, that's even worse. Pity the poor immediate neighbours 😭

No, my parents are in Nunhead and it was really noisy there too.  They were only just going to bed so didn't wake them up 😁
