Unless you've lived in a gave for your whole life, you may have heard of Bonfire night and even though the actual November 5th was yesterday the real photos are tonight at the various firework displays:

:bulletred:Lord Mayor's Show and Fireworks Display|Event at 11am (oops) Fireworks at 5pm

The show welcomes into office the new Lord Mayor of the City of London. The three-mile-long parade involves 6,000 people, 200 vehicles (including a horse-drawn double-decker bus and a mobile post-office), 21 carriages (including the 253-year-old, gold Lord Mayor's State Coach), 150 horses, 20 marching bands and 71 floats featuring people from a huge variety of London communities. The procession, which features participants as diverse as acrobats, hip hop dancers and stray dogs looking for a home, begins at Mansion House at 11am with an aircraft fly-past. It then weaves its way through the historic streets of the Square Mile, via St Paul's Cathedral where the Lord Mayor receives a blessing at 12.10pm, and arrives at 12.30pm at the Royal Courts of Justice where he swears his allegiance to the Sovereign. The return procession starts at 1pm, arriving back at Mansion House at 2.30pm. The fireworks display is at 5pm from a barge moored between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges. Watch from the banks or grab a prime position on one of the bridges.

Not much info on this one but not many firework displays have bonfires in London so if your going take advantage of that!

:bulletyellow:Blackheath Fireworks|8pm

Blackheath's 2010 fireworks were in doubt for a while due to council budget cuts, and those who wanted to attend were asked to chip in to the Blackheath Fireworks Appeal. It has now been confirmed that the display will go ahead.
This is the one I go to every year, the crowd is huge and the fireworks are great.

P.S Keep safe, if your planning to take photos don't go alone, groups of 3 or 4 make it safe and more FUN!!

Good Luck
