Bonfire Night
In London and in the UK in general, we have a passion for fireworks at this time of year. Halloween isn't really our thing, although more and more children's costumes are going on sale these days. We look forward to November 5th when we commemorate Guy Fawkes's attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament with barrels of gunpowder in 1605.

Free Things in City of London
The City of London is actually only a small area east of central London, also known as the Square Mile.
