Ring in the Festive Season this November<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the quintessential autumn event that is sure to bring a bit of sparkle to the oft-dull cooler nights, Bonfire Night<\/strong> means a glittering array of firework displays to light up the London sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the main firework action taking place on the 5th<\/sup> of November, head south towards Blackheath which attracts huge crowds for a reason as the celebrations spill out into the streets. In the north, Alexandra Palace not only provides its own celebratory display but also a panoramic view across the city, ideal to see the glittering fireworks exploding throughout London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year moves closer towards the festive season, it\u2019s time to bring out the scarves and woolly hats as London comes alive with the glow of Christmas displays<\/strong> across the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxford Street and Regent Street are transformed into spectacles of merriment and cheer with glorious golden angels, falling snowflakes and innumerable miles of lights lining the streets. Expect the switching on ceremony on November 14th<\/sup> to be accompanied with events for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A flurry of festive ice rinks<\/strong> spring up in some of the city\u2019s most iconic attractions and whether you have the skills to pirouette like a winter Olympian or find yourself clinging to the side for support, you\u2019ll be sure to find a rink in London for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illuminated by over 100,000 spellbinding lights, the ice rink at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park provides enough space for you to find your rhythm while the rollercoasters, Christmas markets and fairground rides are there for those who get their thrills off the ice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ice rink at the Natural History Museum<\/strong> may be London\u2019s most enchanting with the 19th<\/sup> century, Alfred Waterhouse buildings and cascading fairy lights hidden amongst the trees providing a picturesque backdrop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its centre stands a towering yet majestic Christmas tree and from the comfort of the indoor caf\u00e9 bar, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy the icy display with the warmth of some spicy mulled wine.

Beyond the Christmas-themed events, November marks the arrival of the ancient past to Chelsea\u2019s Saatchi Gallery<\/strong> with the opening of the Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh Exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having captured the world\u2019s attention and imaginations since their discovery in 1922, the Egyptian antiquities that dazzle with an air of mystery and glitter with an extravagance of gold are making one final stop overseas before their permanent display in Cairo\u2019s Grand Egyptian Museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
