That's amazing. The road works, and associated diversions, started on
2nd August; perhaps he had just returned from his holidays?

As for the South Norwood diversions, I now live on a bus route. 3
different services pass my door, and I am regularly woken at around 0550
when the first one of the day goes by. This will last, apparently, until
the end of October; perhaps I will have got used to it by then!
