Usually free ones at Brockwell Park, and also over in Southwark Park - depending on where Lambeth and Southwark Councils have decided on this year. Worth checking the Council websites, I'd reckon.


There's also a ?5 pay-on-the-door one at Dulwich Sports Club on Burbage Road - once inside there's a bar, BBQ, sweet stalls etc.


EDIT: Southwark Park display and Brockwell Park display.

spoilsport! ;-)


If we go fireworking it's usually to Brockwell Park. I've sort of gotten over the whole thing (fireworks generally - Brockwell Park puts on a fine show) but Lady Mac still loves it. I think we compromised last time by watching from the beer garden of the Florence

Just to note, if you are driving to Blackheath, leave in plenty of time, the roads get v. clogged. I missed it one year due to this. Better to go by train. Pubs are heaving also, so if you want a pint without fighting through a scrum, get there early.

Well quite.


Please can everyone refrain from bringing a Certain Tabloid Newspaper into this, though. It's just annoying, I personally think it's overkill, but I have no wish to invoke the rage of those who remember Better Times, nor contributions from those who wish to accuse the former of wanting to bring back hanging.

    • When I did a Diploma in Community Studies at Birkbeck College many many moons ago, community was defined a group with common/similar beliefs , people living within a defined geographical area,.
    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.
