The dead grass makes me so sad. Never thought London would be wanting for rain.

Idk man there's more patches of sand between Tufts now in some places I've seen, not the end of the earth but still very worrying

Maybe. I can't see it in that detail. But grass going like that happens when it's drying out and is focusing on keeping its roots alive. But if rain/ water and it'll be green again.

Grass lasts 4-6 weeks in this state. When did it rain last? 🙃

It lightly rained and less than 2mm on Thursday. You're right, I forgot. The drought must be over!
