Bonfire Night in London

Bonfire Night is also known as Fireworks Night or Guy Fawkes Night. 

It's a British tradition dating back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Catholic conspirator Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and King James I.

Guy Fawkes Night - Then and Now

To this day, it is customary for the cellars in the Houses of Parliament to be searched by the Yeoman of the Guard before each State Opening of Parliament. 

The anniversary of Fawkes' arrest is celebrated each year with fireworks and bonfires. Sometimes, effigies of Guy Fawkes ("the guy") are burned on top of the bonfires.
