After last year’s shock and awe display word must have spread through London town, as Clapham Old Town was hopping with firework frenzy last night. I have never seen larger crowds for a display here, and every year we have enormous crowds. Good news for all our lovely pubs, bars and restaurants.

After a few wet days the common was a bit muddy, but the rain held off for a lovely evening of fireworks. Just superb.

The finale was captured on video by the Mayor of Lambeth, no less.
