South London

Clapham Common is a great place to spend Bonfire Night. The entire park comes alive with music and a dazzling array of fireworks. It’s also a great night out – so if you don’t fancy standing around in the cold, watch all the action from The Windmill, a great little pub on the outskirts of the common. They sell a mean hot dog, too.
