London Fashion Week
In September, London hosts the second largest fashion week of the year. In addition to professional events, many bright events are held for citizens and guests of events.
Halloween
Halloween is held October 31st on the eve of the Western Christian holiday of All Saints Day. This is a time dedicated to the memory of the dead, saints, martyrs. Unlike the United States, this is a relatively calm event: children put on costumes and walk around the neighborhood with the famous phrase Trick or treat, collecting treats. Neighbors very rarely let children play themselves, but prefer to treat them with sweets.

Guy Fawkes Night
Bonfire Night is held on November 5th, associated with the tradition of celebrating Guy Fawkes' failed attempt to blow up the parliament in 1605. Participants make bonfires, admire the fireworks, take part in street processions and festivities.
Memorial Day, November 11
Every year on November 11, the British remember the soldiers who died in the fields of the First World War. Royal British Legion sell paper poppy flowers - a symbol of Memorial Day, sending all the proceeds to charity to raise funds for war veterans and their families. At 11.00 am, a two-minute silence is announced throughout the country.
Christmas
The British celebrate Christmas December 25th - this is the main family and state holiday. Christmas markets are held in many UK cities and are becoming popular places to visit with friends and family. At this time, it is customary to buy gifts for loved ones, to cook traditional dishes - turkey, pudding, hot alcoholic drinks. Christmas trees, garlands and candles are put in the houses. Children hang socks near the Christmas tree or fireplace, where in the morning parents will lay out gifts.
New Year
England celebrates the New Year, having parties with friends and family and waiting for the countdown before midnight. This holiday is given less attention than Christmas, because many choose to spend New Year's Eve out of the house, on street walks, admiring the fireworks.
