Where to watch fireworks in London for Bonfire Night 2024
As Bonfire Night approaches, London comes alive with vibrant fireworks displays, celebrating the historic events of 5 November. Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, commemorates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. This cherished British tradition invites families and friends to gather around bonfires, enjoy festive treats, and watch the spectacular shows lighting up the night sky.
