London New Years Eve Fireworks

The Mayor’s Midnight Fireworks display by the Thames is set to be fantastic this year, with over 250,000 people coming to watch the firework display last year it is expected to be similar numbers this time around.
The viewing areas usually fill up 2-3 hours before the show starts so make sure you get there early to get the best spots.

Radio 1’s DJ Nihal will be putting on an exclusive show for all those who attend – starting at 10pm and continuing after the firework display.

Make sure you wrap up warm for the show as it will be cold. Meeting friends and family before venturing out to view points is advised as the crowds could mean that it is hard to meet up once there.

Tickets are not on sale for the show, it is a free event, so please do not accept any if they are offered to you.
