London Fireworks 2026: Bonfire Night Displays, Dates and Tickets
Where to watch fireworks in London for Bonfire Night 2026, with dates, start times, ticket prices and the nearest stations for Battersea Park, Alexandra Palace, Blackheath and more.
Bonfire Night falls on Thursday 5 November 2026, but most of London's big displays happen on the weekend after, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November. Nearly all of them need tickets booked in advance, and most don't sell tickets on the gate. Here are the main displays, when they start, what they cost and how to get there. Details are correct at the time of writing, so check the organiser's website before you go.
Battersea Park
One of the biggest displays in London, set to music beside the Thames. Two nights, so it's a good backup if one sells out.
- When: Saturday 7 November (fireworks 8.30pm) and Sunday 8 November (fireworks 7pm).
- Tickets: Adults from about £11, rising for later releases. Under-5s go free but still need a ticket.
- Getting there: Battersea Park or Queenstown Road rail stations, or Battersea Power Station on the Northern line.
Alexandra Palace
A fireworks festival with fairground rides, street food and a bar, plus one of the best views of the London skyline from the hilltop.
- When: Saturday 7 November (fireworks 8pm) and Sunday 8 November (fireworks 6pm). The Sunday show is earlier and better for small children.
- Tickets: From £11.50, rising to about £19.50 for the final release.
- Getting there: Alexandra Palace rail station from King's Cross or Moorgate, or Wood Green on the Piccadilly line and the W3 bus. It's a steep walk up the hill.
Blackheath
South-east London's big community display on the open heath, run by volunteers. One night only.
- When: Saturday 7 November, fireworks at 8pm.
- Tickets: Adults £16, ages 11 to 15 £10, ages 0 to 10 £5.
- Getting there: Blackheath rail station is a short walk. Greenwich and Lewisham are about 20 minutes on foot.
Wimbledon Park
The one to pick if you want fireworks on Bonfire Night itself.
- When: Thursday 5 November.
- Getting there: Wimbledon Park on the District line, or Wimbledon station and a 15-minute walk.
Morden Park
A smaller local display in south London, usually less crowded than the big central shows.
- When: Saturday 7 November.
- Getting there: Morden station at the end of the Northern line, then a short bus ride or a 20-minute walk.
Not running in 2026
Crystal Palace Park and Victoria Park are not holding fireworks displays this year, so don't plan a trip around either.
Tips for the night
- Book early: The popular nights sell out, and most displays have no gate sales.
- Travel: Stations near the parks get very busy straight after the show. Wait 20 minutes or walk to the next station along.
- Bring: Warm layers, a torch and sturdy shoes. Parks get muddy in November.
- Sparklers: Most big displays ban personal sparklers and fireworks, so check the rules before you pack them.
