I always turn my wifi (via Control Center) when I go to work as it automatically connects to our local network. Some of my apps won't work so I use my LTE connection. However, I noticed a few times that the Wifi gets enabled automagically! I don't know exactly if I'm hitting it by accident (don't know how I can do that) or is there something funky about the settings.

I have an iPhone 6s running 11.0.1
 
As mentioned in article Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Aren't Fully Disabled When Toggled Off in Control Center on iOS 11 and Apple support document, WiFi will reconnect if:

  • You turn on Wi-Fi in Control Center.
  • You connect to a Wi-Fi network in Settings > Wi-Fi.
  • You walk or drive to a new location.
  • It's 5 AM local time.
  • You restart your device.

And for your case, bolded one is probably reason for reconnection :)

Yes, because I usually notice it when I'm grabbing coffee or going to the subway. Oh Apple ... making life "simple" for everyone :)
