Calendar of events in London for November, 2006

Every year in London take place massive celebrations to commemorate the failure of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot. Catholic Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and the King, James I, along with it. He was executed for treason, but he’s remembered by children the length and breadth of the country as they burn effigies of the infamous traitor on large bonfires, as fireworks are fired off into the night’s sky. These celebrations are a great chance for you to go out, stare London's sky and see thousands of pyrotechnics go up in smoke. Also there are some good musical events to see such as the London Jazz Festival which will go from 10th to 19th November.
