Attend Blackheath Fireworks

As your author cycled across Blackheath late last night, Lewisham Council were already setting up for Blackheath Fireworks, one of London's biggest, attracting up to 100,000 people. A funfair was being slowly unfolded and the last pieces of metal fencing slotted into place, underlining quite what goes into putting together this free event.


For those not based in South East London, the good folks at Londonist remind us there are scores of firework displays on offer over the next week, and whilst bonfires tend to be a bit more scarce it should be possible to find something.
