Title: Re: London NYE Post by: gatso on December 23, 2011, 12:17:21 PM if you're talking about the fireworks on the thames then I'd suggest you avoid like the plague. the viewing areas are all closed by about 9.30 when they're full and you have nothing to do but stand around waiting
Title: Re: London NYE Post by: outragous76 on December 23, 2011, 12:51:30 PM Gatso's got very good advice!
Mine was going to be change plans last minute? But then London isn't for me! I lived there for 6 years had 1 (aborted) attempt and then left London every nye afterwards. But im not a London lover, so I hope you have a fantastic time Title: Re: London NYE Post by: Girgy85 on December 23, 2011, 01:17:51 PM Going darn de smoke for NYE and New years day.

The best NYE's I had in London were at mates houses rather than out in the city where everything is crowded and ridiculously overpriced although to be fair that isn't really a London thing I don't know anywhere where NYE isn't fairly horrible although I did get an email this week from Le Pont De La tour who are charging £185pp for dinner but the views from there should be pretty good and it is a nice restaurant.

Not spending 3 hours stood about waiting for fireworks.
