London's bonfire night fireworks are among the most spectacular in the country — and once again this autumn, they return with a bang.
Accompanying the explosive entertainment are funfair rides, musical soundtracks, cockle-warming grub and various other festivities.
Here's our guide to firework displays and bonfire night events across London on and around 5 November 2026 (which, FYI, falls on a Thursday this year, so displays are divided between the nearest two weekends, with a couple on the day itself).
Firework night 2026 displays in central London
For obvious reasons, there aren't many firework displays and bonfire night events in central London.
CORAM'S FIELDS, BLOOMSBURY: Coram's Fields is a special little park, where adults must be accompanied by a child at all times. On Bonfire Night, it opens its gates to 6,000 people for a FREE firework display. The 18-minute-long show is accompanied by funfair rides and refreshment stalls. FREE, 5 November 2026
Firework displays 2026 in north London
TOTTERIDGE FIREWORKS NIGHT: The gates open at 5.30pm at Totteridge Millhillians Cricket Club, for what promises to be a marathon sesh: dive into the food stalls/kids rides ahead of the bonfire lighting at 6.30pm, and fireworks at 7.45pm. Even then, the night has only just begun: bars, bands and fire pits keep the bonhomie blazing right through to 1am! This one's card only, no cash. 6 November 2026
EALING AND HARROW FIREWORKS: Byron Park is the setting for Ealing and Harrow Fireworks, an afternoon and evening event incorporating a small fun fair, as well as a bar marquee and a world food arena. That's all open from 12pm, with free entry until 3pm. You'll need a ticket after that, the fireworks sparking up around 7.45pm, intertwined with a Diwali celebration. If you don't book in advance, it's cash only on the gate; no cards, as the event supports the Save Our Cash campaign. 7 November 2026
SOUTHGATE FIREWORKS: Head to The Walker Ground sports complex for Southgate's fireworks, complete with rides, inflatables, live music and warming refreshments. 7 November 2026
ALEXANDRA PALACE FIREWORKS & DRONE FESTIVAL: The daddy of north London bonfire events, Alexandra Palace claims to host the biggest fireworks festival each year. And it's not just pyrotechnics anymore: a drone display precedes the fireworks this year at what's now called the Fireworks & Drone Festival. There's also a funfair, ice skating, street food stalls and a German bier festival. All that, plus dreamy views over the London skyline — even more so if you book to take part in the Summit rooftop walk as the display unfolds around you. 7-8 November 2026
BOUNDS GREEN: The Wild Wolf Explorer Scout Unit in Bounds Green has confirmed it won't be holding a 2026 fireworks event, but hopes to be back for 2027.

After the fireworks, sing along to the Pop Anthems Afterparty. 7-8 November 2026
