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 :)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
