* FTSE 100 down 0.8%, FTSE 250 drops 0.8%

Oct 30 (Reuters) - London stocks fell on Friday, with the
FTSE 100 set for its worst monthly loss since March on fears
that lockdowns to tackle surging coronavirus cases would disrupt
a nascent economic recovery.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 index .FTSE lost 0.8%, dragged
lower by mining .FTNMX1770 , personal goods maker .FTNMX3760
and aero .FTNMX2710 stocks.
The domestically focussed mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC fell
0.8%.
Both the indexes fell for a fifth straight session as
pressure mounted on Britain to impose a second nationwide
lockdown, even as the government said it would stick with a
system of local restrictions. NatWest Group Plc NWG.L jumped 3.1% to the top of the FTSE
100 index after the lender swung to a quarterly profit as it set
aside a smaller-than-expected amount to deal with
pandemic-driven bad loans.
