The failed plot that gave rise to a tradition of burning effigies? it happened in England…
Where could you possibly drink mulled wine next a big fire in London? Mulled wine maybe, but a big fire in London? Well! «The Black Lion» public house had a bonfire and was serving drinks all evening. I really didn’t believe it at first, until I sat next to it with a glass of wine in my hand. I spent a wonderful evening with friends and other guests in this pub on the bank of the river Thames in Hammersmith; it was a cozy forecourt with wooden tables and benches and on a chilly evening in November it was warmed by a great big fire. This only happens once a year on the 5th of November! Because of an event that is more than 400 years old.
