Where to watch the fireworks in London

The best firework displays to go to this Bonfire Night! ๐ŸŽ‡

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 whatโ€™s known as the Gunpowder Plot!

The plot failed, and people began marking the Kingโ€™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. โœจ
