Bonfire Night & Recommended Fireworks Displays

Wednesday October 29, 2008
Remember, remember, the 5th of November... Oh yes, it's time to commemorate the day when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. There are some excellent firework displays and huge bonfires burning effigies of the man to commemorate the day. Fireworks are on sale in London but what's the point of spending all that money just to burn it when there are amazing organized firework displays to attend? Most displays are free (or have a suggested donation) so learn about the history of Bonfire Night as well as finding out where to see great fireworks displays in London.
