For the last 8 years or so I have always managed to enjoy London on New Year’s Eve\/New years day! If you can try and watch the fireworks<\/a> that commence at, you guessed it, 12 am on and around the London Eye<\/a> (the big wheel thing that stands near Big Ben).<\/p>\n It is a very popular evening with what feels like millions of people on the streets!<\/p>\n Top tip:<\/strong> Arrive early! With crowd control and public safety, alongside the huge amounts of closed streets it can take a very VERY long time to get to a good spot, so arrive at your chosen space around 10 pm and wrap up warm…<\/p>\n The best spot I have found is near the London eye itself, opposite Big Ben, or indeed any part of the river Thames where you can see the London Eye.<\/p>\n Maybe take a flask of your favourite nectar or coffee to keep you warm and\/or merry!<\/p>\n Also, Transport for London<\/a> kindly gives FREE central London transport in the evening, which makes for less of a worry in getting back to your hotel or home. But do take into consideration it may take a few hours to get home.<\/p>\n New years day top tip… Go for the New years day parade<\/a> (stand around Trafalgar Square), all Free and well worth a watch!<\/p>\n Have a great time, and always be prepared for the changing weather.<\/p>\n Read more: Best areas of London<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 15 Of The Best Areas In London You Have To Visit<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n![\"10](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/handluggageonly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/HandLuggageOnly-8-1.jpg?resize=1000%2C667&ssl=1\")
