The Best Bonfire Night Events in London

1. Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival‍

The so-called “Glastonbury of Fireworks”, Ally Pally is famous in London for its legendary firework display and light show illuminating their panoramic views across the city. Apart from the fantastic fireworks, Alexandra Palace is also promising a funfair, film screenings in their Victorian cinema, an ice skating disco, and even a German Bier Fest with a live Oompah Band for later.

3. Musical Firework Displays‍

This year, both Wimbledon Park and Morden Park will be holding their firework displays amidst a musical performance featuring many feel-good pop tunes. Instead of the usual bonfire, the parks will be holding a stunning fire and light show instead in a bid to be more eco-conscious, as well as providing delicious street food stalls and a variety of funfair rides for all.

5. Beckenham Fireworks in the Park

‍With annual firework displays running since 1946, Beckenham’s firework show is truly a staple in the Croydon community.
