Can anyone recommend the best place place in Forest Hill/Honor Oak to get views over london on bonfire night? Hoping to catch some of the various fireworks displays that are on. Any advice/opinion appreciated!

My friend's back garden on Overhill Road! He has the most amazing view - you can see a few display's going on all at once - you can see as far as Wembley! Failing that - I'm planning on going a little bit further to Blackheath.

I'd offer our upstairs bedrooms but I dont know you so I'll just suggest Canonbie Road where you can see everything and anything.

The tops of one tree hill or Westwood Park,

Blythe Hill Fields is good, has a fantastic view over Canary Wharf and the majority of the East side of London on any day. A lot of people go there I think on fireworks night

I'm not convinced that watching fireworks from a distance is the best way to see them. It can be quite amusing to stand on Canonbie and watch the fireworks below you. But I think you miss out on some of the excitement of being a bit closer.

In the last couple of years there have been good displays from somewhere close to FH town centre, probably All Inn One. If they are having a display it might be worth going to that.

Blythe Hill does sound like a sensible compromise location as you should get a good view of Blackheath from there, as well as other displays.

Blythe Hill usually good and theres usually a good atmosphere

Thanks for the tips everyone, lots of good options
