Traffic on Bonfire Night

Lambeth are providing their usual Brockwell Park firework event on the evening of Tue 5 November.

A number of temporary traffic measures will be in place. These will include a complete closure of the main Herne Hill junction to car traffic between about 19:45 and 20:45 during and at the end of the actual display, to help the safe dispersal of the crowds.


If you are going, it would be best to walk to and from the event. If you are having visitors, tell them to arrive early and leave late - there will be some traffic congestion around Herne Hill mid-evening. Further details of bus service alterations will be on the TfL website.

Was astonished at how many people had disregarded advice on junction closure. I pushed my bike through the junction just before 9 and there was a lot of traffic - cars and buses at a standstill. Lots of dodgy parking in surrounding roads too! The crowds walking seemed cheerful though and whoever sold the light sabres must have made a fortune. Every other kid seemed to have one
I was there with small-ish children and tbh getting in and out was no worse than in prior years - took about 10-15 minutes to get out, but a generally patient and good-natured crowd. Agree the fireworks were excellent - I'd never seen smiley face fireworks before.

Another Brilliant display by Lambeth Council.


Gets better every year.


35 mins to get out the park. (Depended on how near the exit you were)


Everyone in good spirits though. Might of been different had it started to rain.


Well worth the hassle..

I was there too, and yes it was an excellent display yet again (though I think last year's might have been a smidge better).


I did think it was a lot busier than normal though. We weren't that far from the gate and it took 20 minutes to get out. Mr Twirly and I lost the friends we were with moments after entering the park (and we've never had to queue to get in before). I am wondering if it's becoming a victim of it's own success - they hire the team that did the Olympics fireworks, plus it's free whereas a lot of others in South London charge. Is it possible that it will become impracticable over the next year or two?


It wasn't cold though - too many people there for it to get cold!

It was clear earlier on, but it did cloud over towards 8pm we noticed!


At least the rain had stopped, though the grass was a bit soggy and I was glad I had worn my wellies :)

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
