New Year Fireworks - London

In the News

Not sure if you have seen this, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55504450

I have mixed emotions about this, half of me thinks it's clever and honours the NHS another part of me thinks what a waste all that £ up in smoke.

Also know that it scares pets

I honestly thought it’s the best new year display lighting up the capital and the drones. The fireworks were just a waste of money. Come on London ban the fireworks, the light display was tasteful and magnificent.

Not a fan of fireworks as they scare and harm animals and are also harmful to the environment. They are also expensive and I think the money could be better used.

I’m glad they’re exploring new ways of doing things, such as using drones, as it’ll be a good way to phase out the use of fireworks. It was an ok light show

hspexy I'm in total agreement with you! It was just an ok light show, others did a much better job. They are better off moving to other display mechanisms to save the environment and present a spectacular show!

New Year and other big events are usually organised well in advance. The fireworks were likely ordered before the start of the UK COVID-19 outbreak. The display would have been modified to reflect the current times.
