As above really, which one will be good? I'm going with a few people who all live in north London, so would prefer north of the river ...

Cheers

Jesus Kimbers I used to live in Muswell Hill and Ally pally fireworks were the best Ive ever seen. What a shame. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Find place with a view of lots of sky. Occupy said place. Open a few bottles of something. Watch the sky.

I'm going to the Crystal Palace one, but first I need to find this bierhalle where they serve currywurst and buy some records at Rough Trade.

Those naughty fire people are on strike on the day the local councuils blatantly waste thousands of pounds of cash on burning tubes of explosives, for the sake of so called entertainment.

Best to take a fire blanket , snmoke alarm , helmet, and anything else you may need.

What Flash said, we watch all the displays from the loft, but then we do have 180 views across town ๐Ÿ˜‰

DJ, what part of town are you in? I'm in SW1, so rather well placed to see all the central London ones!

Yep, watching the sky and seeing any that are in your field of vision is better than the others! ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Victoria Park one is meant to be good, but it's in East London, but not too far from the city.

Ealing, with a great big window facing east, I believe that its Diwali too on the same day so there should be tons of different displays to see

I wouldn't bother - firework displays are always a disappointment. Why get cold and wet when you can go straight to the pub and that way you'll get yourself a decent table before the hoards arrive.
