Watch the Blackheath Fireworks

One of London's biggest firework displays, Blackheath Fireworks takes place this evening, with around 100,000 people gathering on the Heath for a fireworks display, with no news yet on whether they have been the subject of the usual inter-borough wranglings.

Last year's was an impressive display and there are additional attractions to entertain including funfair rides from 4pm and bar and food stalls from 5pm. For what it's worth, your author will this year be returning to Brockham in Surrey in search of a proper village bonfire, but as that's outside the M25, the excellent display at Blackheath earns its place here.
