Time to start planning the annual celebration of the persecution of a Papist plot to kill our Protestant Monarch. Sadly, the burning of effigies seems to be frowned upon now, although a few venues will have bonfires this year.
If I’ve missed any (as I am bound to have), then send me a note and I’ll update the details.

And finally, tickets to be in the crowds at the London Eye on New Year’s Eve are now on sale.
You missed Newham -> 1st November

Listed under Wanstead Flats
Tower Hamlets normally have one or two – Weavers Fields and millwall Park? Not announced a date yet but not said they’ll pull it either…
I am much closer to Blackheath this year and a five minute walk will afford me a good viewing position with less of a chance of being deafened.
tower hamlets now confirmed – 7th november, back in Victoria Park.

URGH why did Enfield have to cancel???! Now I have to go to Central London D;
hello, just wondering if there is anything going on in Uxbridge on the 7th of November for bonfire night, as everytime it comes to finding something it actually isn’t in Uxbridge it is in Harrow or Ealing.
Looks like a wash out. It’s been raining all day and the wind is very high. Oh well, there’s always New Year.
