Where's a good place to watch fireworks in London?

Hi!

Trying to do things a little bit cheaper this year - would love to go to a fireworks display for Bonfire Night on Tuesday 5th November, as I'm working this weekend.

We're fairly new to London - does anyone know any good spots/hills/parks in London that people to gather to watch fireworks from without going to ticketed entry fireworks?

Thanks in advance!

You can get a fairly good view of the Crystal Palace fireworks from most of the surrounding area. You won't see the low level ones but the rockets are visible.

I know that makes me sound like a cheapskate and I don't make a point of watching for free, I just happen to be in the area shopping, but the year I did pay to go I had a worse view than outside the park due to me being a shortarse and some inconsiderate, lanky dickheads strolling up and standing about a foot in front of me.

The Blackheath ones are good, and free. You can get there by train Smile

A lot of schools do displays. We're in bromley and most of the primary schools do a display with the tickets sales going to the PSA. They tend not to be expensive.
