Bonfire Night London 2024: The London landmarks with the best views for watching fireworks

It's almost Bonfire Night and what better place to commemorate the evening than in the city where Guy Fawkes and his motley crew attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and King James I in the Gunpowder Plot of November 5 1605. 

While there are plenty of different displays planned across London including the iconic Alexandra Palace and Battersea Park shows you could also opt to watch some of the displays from up high alongside the city’s skyline.

Here’s our picks for unforgettable firework views in the city.

London Eye

Offering panoramic views of the city from London’s southbank you may just be able to see different displays across town. 

There are a number of firework displays south of the river that you may be able to see on November 5 including Battersea and Wimbledon.

For the best chance you may want to book the final slot of the day on the London Eye which is 5.45pm to 6pm which is likely when most displays will start.

Tickets for a ride can be booked on the London Eye website.

Lift 109 in Battersea Power Station

The Battersea Power Station glass lift experience is set to also offer views of the fireworks this November 5. 

The spot’s Lift 109 experience will invite guests up one of its famous chimneys and beyond to see the nearby Battersea Park display.

Those wanting to book a visit can head to the Lift 109 website for tickets.
