Thanks for the advice guys. It seems hard to believe it's got sunburned with
the weather I've experienced in London this week!

Nevertheless, I believe what you're saying. I's a shame I've damaged such a
lovely plant (sob), but I haven't given up on it, just a shame I've ruined
so much growth.

But once again thanks for your advice, I'll treat it more delicately in
future

Clivias are extremely susceptible to exposure from direct sun if they
have been kept shaded. Your plant's symptoms are completely typical
of one that has been severely burnt. Move it into a shaded position
and when new leaves start to appear, apply a general purpose
fertiliser. The damaged leaves will not recover, but you should leave
them on until there is strong re-growth. In future, give your Clivia
50% shade from March to november, thereafter allow it to cope with
full light. They do not enjoy, nor can they tolerate direct UK sun
either through glass, or directly onto their leaves.
