My poor lawn, is this purely down to lack of water??

The dry September won't have helped the lawn Mark.
You need to scarify the lawn to take out the thatch that's there firstly. Then spike the lawn every 6 inches, and when doing so lift the grass slightly. Any bare patches can be resown. The weather is still mild and should germinate over the next few weeks. Spread compost on top of the bare patches before sowing then water in well and keep moist. You should see new growth about 10 days later. Compost the thatch or it can go in the garden waste if your council collects it.
