New Year’s eve is definitely one of the busiest nights of the year in London. The New Year’s Eve fireworks display at The London Eye means big crowds. The viewing areas will close as soon as they are full, so only a proportion of those in central London will be able to watch the fireworks. If you are in town on New Year’s Eve remember that it will get very crowded. London will have its busiest nights of the year: bars, restaurants and clubs will be packed and you will definitely need to be booked in advance.
Some tips to help you plan your New Year’s night. Visit London has a good selection of London hotels where to stay, events where to go and restaurant where to eat international delicious food.
However for new year’s eve, plan your journey. Many roads and bridges will close to traffic from 6pm. Think about your route out and back before to get there and let people know where you are going. Ensure you will be able to contact friends and family, should you become separated from the group. Allow extra time when heading out. Remember that you may have to walk further to get to where you need to be because maybe the shorter route is packed or inaccessible. Wear good walking shoes, wrap up warm and don’t get caught out by the cold weather.
