Things to do in London for New Year’s Eve
Thames Fireworks
Nothing screams New Year like the sound of fireworks! This is a great event to attend with both friends and family. Depending on how much money you’d like to spend, you can choose different zones around London to view the spectacular display from. If this is your New Year’s choice it could be a little chilly but it’s well worth it, so make sure you’ve got your thermals and comfy low heel ankle boots on!
Party at the Shard
Treat yourself to a once in a lifetime New Year’s celebration at the shard, the highest point in the capital for a night you will remember for years to come. When you enter into the buzzing atmosphere you will feel like complete Royalty as you’re greeted with a complimentary cocktail. When big strikes midnight you’ll be dressed to impress wearing your favourite block heel court shoes sipping complimentary Moet feeling like a queen! It may not be the cheapest event to book but the views of twinkling lights from way up high are certainly well worth the money.
River Thames Cruse
The River Thames Cruise is a fantastic informal way to watch the fireworks with friends and family without getting caught up in busy crowds. There are various boats to choose from depending on whether you’d like a casual sit down meal as well as the party. Each of the boats have two saloons; the lower saloon is for sitting to take in the gorgeous views, whilst the top is for partying the night away to the DJ playing all the latest chart hits!
Glitter Ball Out at Ballie Ballerson
If you’re looking for a night out that’s cheap as chips but still packed full of fun then get down with the new adult ball pit craze at Ballie Ballerson in Shoreditch! The warm up is a total bargain at £5.60 per person, and only £22.40 to stay for the big count down with a glass of prosecco until 4am. Just ensure you arrive in top to toe sequins whether you’re just going to the warm up, or partying through the night and into the morning. The night will be packed full of live DJs and sensational drag queens to bring the glitz & glam. You’ll be able to swap your thigh high heeled boots for trainers because who’s going to see them through a tone of balls?
Mayfair Masquerade Gala Dinner Party
The London Hilton are pulling out all the stops with this one, with the event last year being a total sell-out it’s guaranteed to be even better this year. The evening will be packed full of special treats including; comedian host, live dancers, scrumptious 3 course meal, live band, access to the photo booth all night long & the list goes on! It’s not every day you get to dress up to the nines so step into your very best high stiletto heels, slip into a chic ball gown & don’t forget your mask! Tickets range from £75 if it’s party only, right up to £1,210 if it’s the dinner party drinks package you’re after. How extravagant will you go?
