It looks like the VLM RTM inbound to LCY has just diverted to SEN. Low cloudbase currently at LCY, so more might be expected.
Edit 08:40 Four diverted to SEN so far - could be a busy morning!

The details of those 11 flights are:
5 x F50 3 x RJ85 2 x D328 1 x RJIH
Five of those diversions operated revenue sectors out of SEN with the remainder positioning into either LCY or elsewhere.

Saw BA Cityflyer RJ on the runway when passing. Is this a diversion? Saw no mention of any diversions on LCY website.

CityJet/AF F50 landed at SEN around 6:20 this evening. Don't appear to be any problems at LCY, so I assume it's some sort of tech diversion.

SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT: I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS WINTER THE AIRPORT WILL HAVE IN OPERATION 1 EXTRA SICARD BRUSH/BLOWER, 1 EXTRA BLADE, 1 TRACTOR BRUSH AND 1 EXTRA DE-ICING RIG. FOR WINTER 2011/2012 THERE WILL BE AN EVEN BIGGER INCREASE IN EQUIPMENT INCLUDING AT LEAST 2 MORE BRUSH/BLOWERS, 2 MORE BLADES AND MORE DE-ICING EQUIPMENT. SO IF WE DO GET A BAD WINTER THE AIRPORT WILL BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT BETTER.

That's good news.
I see there were a couple of LCY CityJet F50 diversions this morning, but with the ILS withdrawn until the end of the year I doubt that will be a very frequent event, whether for fog or snow.

Hang on a minute while I just blow the dust off this thread ..... that's better.
The first diversion for many a month this morning with the arrival of the Aer Arann IOM-LCY flight. The LCY runway was apparently blocked by a disabled aircraft. I wonder what the pax will think of the train service into London.

A CityJet Fokker 50 just appeared through the murk and after some last minute maneuvering to line up with the runway, landed on 24.

The RE flight from Waterford had to divert elsewhere this morning due fog, however the RE flight from IOM to LCY diverted into SEN this afternoon and a CityJet F50 from Luxembourg has also landed on 24. A second F50 from Orly has now diverted into SEN landing on 06.

Have there been any other diversions into SEN from LCY since the 20th?

A CityJet F50 diverted in around 8pm on either Monday or Tuesday evening which rather surprised me because the only type of approach available was a procedural NDB and with a cloudbase of 400ft with a slight tail wind, I thought it may have to go around, but it managed to land. As I left for work yesterday morning, there were a number of LCY inbounds in the SPEAR hold, but I don't know whether any of them decided to divert into SEN once it had opened at 8:00am.

LONDON CITY Diversions in November - you can really see the impact that not having the ILS available made to the Southend 'crop': 2 to BIRMINGHAM 15 to GATWICK 3 to LUTON 5 to SOUTHEND 73to STANSTED. Of course it may well have been unflyable at Southend due to the fog, I expect at least a handful more would have made it over to east Essex with the ILS.
Southend itself lost 4 to Luton and 2 to Birmingham in November.

Not sure if there's a problem at LCY but a Cityjet D328 is diverting into SEN - maybe from Dundee...
A suspect package at LCY - just the 1 diversion and LCY is now open again...
