Alexandra Palace and darts go hand in hand. The north London darting destination is practically a Christmas staple: every December, fans come together for the PDC World Darts Championships, which dates back to 1963 but has been held at Ally Pally since 2007. And now it's been confirmed that the PDC tournament is staying in north London. A five-year deal has officially been agreed at the 'Palace of the People', meaning Ally Pally will host the World Darts Championship until at least 2031.
When Guy Fawkes was preparing to blow up the Houses of Parliament all those centuries ago, he probably didn't foresee that 420 years later, thousands of Londoners would gather on a hill, serenaded by a Dolly Parton tribute act, watching hundreds of drones make cool neon shapes in the air to celebrate the failure of his plot. That's exactly what'll be happening in a few months time, though.
