I saw this 2 nights ago from my light polluted garden in south east london. It went from nw to se at about 11pm. It was 3 to 4 times faster than the iss but only 1/3 as bright. I saw a small iridium flare at the same time going from east to west and it was much much faster than that. It seemed to fade the closer it got to the horizon but the seeing was bad so im not 100% it was just the earths shadow. It was most definatley in space and not an aircraft. Its not the first time ive seen it either. I just stood there in awe wondering what could be travelling so fast, in orbit? Anyone know what it is yet?

This site has been my main source of information for quite a while now, got my first scope (8' reflector) in January and this place has been a godsend! I have learned a lot about imaging from here and will post up some of mine after a little more practice. If there is anyone local to Dartford, give me a shout!
