What can I do in my new garden end of November?

Moving end of November to a house with a smallish, well established garden. Most of the planting is around the boundary fences. There's some bamboo, according to the survey, and what I think is passion flower and various other unidentified plants.

I know there's no harm in waiting til Spring, but is there any pruning etc I could do?

Yes, pruning depends on the plants. The RHS website is cracking for pruning advice. You can also clean up, decide on any changes and dig new beds ready for spring, and mulch. You can plant things too, like trees and anything that is hardy and not needing frost protection.

Also Google lens is pretty good for identifying unknown plants, as long as they have leaves and are not just sticks.

For me the number one job would be to get spring bulbs in. In pots and in the ground, never have too many spring flowers.

Other than tidying anything obviously weedy, overgrown etc, I would wait to see what’s there. There may be spring bulbs waiting to emerge. Notice where the sunny spots are, where does frost stay all day, where does the sun rise and set, is anywhere especially windy, do puddles form and not drain suggesting compaction?
