51.9% is a figure that will go down in history. It's the percentage of the British public who voted us out of the European Union. And make no mistake, we're gone for good - there's no coming back from this.
So what happens now? What was once a fantasy is now at our doorsteps. It's easy to become emotional about Brexit, but now that it's here, we need to face up to the facts. We need to know what our future holds - and it's very complex.
A range of emergency discussions will pop up London, featuring economists, lawyers, politicians. Here's our pick of the best:
Intelligence squared: Brexit - what's next?
This talk was filmed on 15 July:
Brexit means Brexit: Controlling Britain's borders is more important than staying in the European Single Market
14 November, 6.45pm
£15 - £30
Emmanuel Centre
One thing we know is that we can’t have our cake and eat it. So which should we prioritise – gaining control over immigration from the EU, or keeping full access to the single market?
An illustrious panel of punits and the audience will debate this question. Speaker for the motion will be Kwasi Kwarteng, Conservative MP and Leave campaigner. Speaker against the motion will be Radek Sikorski, Poland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2007-2014 and Minister of Defence from 2005-2007, and now a key architect of the European Union’s foreign and security policy as a Senior Fellow at the University of Harvard’s Center for European Studies.
London Beyond Brexit
What will be the implications of Brexit on London’s development and status as a global city over the next few decades? A panel of experts in culture, architecture, housing, and London discuss – including Iwona Blazwick, director of the Whitechapel Gallery, and Carol Patterson, director of Rem Koolhas' architecture firm OMA.
This list is being continually updated.
