Saturday the 12th of November
Lord Mayor’s Show and Fireworks Display – Free
Yup, we know this isn’t actually for this weekend but we just couldn’t miss this off our list. Featuring more than half a tonne of huge fireworks, this display is set to be a spectacular site on the River Thames. Head to the riverside to watch what the organisers are calling “one of London’s grandest” displays.
The show starts at 5pm.
We’d recommend checking the organiser’s website if the weather is bad just in case the event gets cancelled or moved plus remember to wrap up warm as you’ll be standing around in the open for several hours (warm footwear is a must for us!)
