Stayed up 23.00 - 00.30. Perfectly clear sky here in Essex, lots of stars
visible and Milky Way could be made out. Perseids seen: zero.

Presumably it all happened later in the night?

I went out for about 20 minutes just after midnight, with fairly clear
skies, and saw about half a dozen. Very fast and short lived.
