Every year on 5 November fireworks are set off across the UK to commemorate 'Bonfire Night'.
Also known as Guy Fawkes Night, this UK tradition dates back to 1605 when Guy Fawkes and a group of conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in what’s known as the Gunpowder Plot!
The plot failed, and people began marking the King’s survival with bonfires and fireworks, so you may hear some loud noise from wherever you are in London on this night.
Here's our top spots to catch different views of the light show happening across the city. ✨
