London’s 2024 bonfire night firework displays
It’s time to start plotting how we shall remember the downfall of a papist plot and watch the skies over London explode with fireworks. In a few locations, the displays still include the traditional bonfire.
Baring a couple of October anomolies, the fireworks are also more spread out this year, spanning two weekends rather than being clustered over just one weekend as is usual. That gives you a lot more flexibility in planning a bonfire night and maybe getting to see several fireworks displays over both weekends.
Most of them ask people to book in advance and are usually raising money for local charities.
Note that Southwark, Tower Hamlets (Victoria Park) are still to confirm whether they will host fireworks in 2024, and Carshalton has canceled. Blackheath looks to be permanently canceled now.

Another candidate show primarily suitable for people living in North West London:
Verulam Park, St. Albans 19:30 Sat 2 Nov.
Top quality show in support of charities selected by the Abbey.
Easy journey on Thameslink (Kentish Town, West Hampstead, Brent Cross, Mill Hill, Elstree and Radlett, to St. Albans City–then 15 min walk across town). Not too expensive if prebooked/railcards (and boundary fare if you have relevant travelcard).
Abbey station is closer to the park in St. Albans, but that line starts in Watford, and Cassiobury Park event is on the same night, so not much point to go onwards to St. Albans.
Thought you should know that despite the Fawkes Festival website is advertising a display at Ravenscourt Park, they aren’t in fact holding an event in London this year. I emailed them because the ‘Buy Tickets’ button kept reverting to their Edinburgh display, and got the reply “Unfortunately, Fawkes Festival isn’t taking place in London this year. We hope to be back in the future but this year we are concentrating on a large event in Edinburgh.”
