    Boy, those London fireworks get more and more spectacular every year. Anyone been there to watch them live? Is a good vantage point, easy/hard to find, without having to queue in the cold for hours before hand?

    I notice though that the actual size of the firework display area is relatively small. I heard someone saying earlier that the display is really for TV, not so much the actual crowds watching.
