Definition of Hurricane (a la Beaufort Scale):
Winds exceeding 64 kts (aka 119 km/h aka 74 mph) sustained for a minimum period of 10 minutes.

The winds on the 15/16 Oct 1987 gusted to hurricane force, particularly over SE England, but this was not sustained. See, for example, here.

Small beer compared to what was suffered a week ago in the southern US!
