November, eh?

November is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and the fourth and last month to have the length of 30 days. November was the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar. November retained its name (from the Latin novem meaning "nine") when January and February were added to the Roman calendar. November is a month of late-spring in the Southern Hemisphere and late-autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, November in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of May in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. In Ancient Rome, Ludi Plebeii was held from November 4–17, Epulum Jovis was held on November 13, and Brumalia celebrations began on November 24. These dates do not correspond to the modern Gregorian calendar.
There's no bloody fireworks this year thanks to arsing Lambeth so the month be getting off to a suitably big bang.

The weather's going to get chillier, obvs, and there's sure to be rain unless global warming has really freaked out the isobars.
The weather continues to get colder in November in London, UK, when autumn is blending into winter. This month is characterised by falling temperatures, with daily highs decreasing from 13°C on November 1st down to 10°C by November 30th, only exceeding 16°C or falling under 5°C one day out of every ten. The daily low temperatures change in a similar fashion, falling from 9°C on November 1st to 5°C by November 30th, dropping below 1°C or exceeding 12°C very rarely.

In recent times, the highest temperature ever recorded for London in November is 19°C, with the lowest ever recorded temperature being -2°C. When you look at these temperatures alongside the average temperaturefor the month – 8°C – it’s easy to see that they’re the extremes and aren’t what you should be prepared for during your holiday.

With an average of 63mm of rainfall divided across 17 days, it’s extremely likely that you’ll experience at least one shower during your visit, so make sure you bring an umbrella with you. The most common type of precipitation for this time of year is moderate rain which tends to occur around November 21st. Light rain is the second most likely type of rainfall for November and generally happens around November 12th. Overall, November 22nd is most likely to see rainfall, with some kind of precipitation occurring in 63% of days around this date. On the other hand, November 1st is least likely to see any rainfall, with precipitation occurring in 55% of days around this time.
For star gazers:
n the month that sees an unusually close supermoon, the two brightest planets are becoming more prominent at dusk and dawn. The Square of Pegasus looms on the meridian at our map times as Orion, lord of our winter’s nights, rises below Taurus and the Pleiades in the E, and the Summer Triangle sinks in the W.

There's the traditional late night firework Battle Royale between the kids going on outside the Barrier Block right now.

Nothing again this year in Brockwell park if that's what you mean. Which is a shame as they managed to host several fee-paying festival events over the summer.
 
True - would be unfortunate to get left overnight in Lewes with five burning Popes for company.

Ha Ha, I won't ever forget the Cliffe fireworks with 2 (1 wasn't enough!) popes in a cage been fired out repeatedly for about 10 mins.
 
Brixton is frequently sneered at for "losing its soul" - Time Out 1-7 Nov 2016

Time Out majors on Walworth Road this week: "It's a nice area and getting better" - Baris Soylu - Cafe House

However, George Dyer - Threadneedleman tailors - said "The area's undergoing massive regeneration. In ten years time it will be completely different. I just hope owners of independent businesses who've contributed to the area will still be here and not pushed out by high rents"

What was that about losing its soul?
 
Strategic & Creative Counselling at Impact Hub Brixton has "availabilities for new clients" if any local creative professionals and entrepreneurs are interested.

My name is Simona and I'm the counsellor, coach and psychotherapist
behind "Stragic & Creative Counselling", a short, focused oriented
approach particularly fitting for creative professionals and
entrepreneurs. Not only for them though, I also work with clients
experiencing any kind of problems or difficulties related to emotions,
communication and relationships. I've now started to collaborate on a
flexible schedule with Impact Hub in Pop Brixton.
 
strange to say, walworth road's been going downhill since the labour party moved out
Maybe so. My sources in the Labour Party used to refer to "Walworth Road" rather in the same way as many on here refer to "Progress".

I reckon the slow death of Walworth Road is more demographic than due to any act of political will. Negative serendipity if you like.
 
Hundreds ill due to 'norovirus outbreak at restaurant chain' Wahaca

More than 300 people have fallen ill following a suspected outbreak of norovirus at a restaurant chain, Public Health England (PHE) has said. According to a report in the The Mirror, the Mexican restaurant chain Wahaca has shut nine branches - five in London - because of the infection.

Deborah Turbitt, London deputy director for health protection for PHE, said the source of the outbreak was yet to be determined. She said: "Public Health England has been notified of a suspected norovirus outbreak at a restaurant chain. We have so far been made aware of 205 staff and 160 members of the public reporting illness, however these are unconfirmed cases."

Not sure if the Brixton one is closed, but I assume so.
