perseids meteor shower

tomorrow night (at 10pm in UK) is the best time to watch the perseids meteor shower.  sadly is London is so light-polluted i'm not sure what we'll be able to see.  i am hoping to gather a few people to trek up to Hampstead Heath with a few blankets and flasks and see how we go...last year i watched this spectacular event from the middle of a field in Whitby and it was awesome....
