New Years Eve London

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

If you’re going to be in London on New Years Eve, you have a wide variety of things to choose from to help you celebrate. There are plenty of options for ringing in the new year in London.

One of the most popular ways to spend New Years Eve in London is to join the crowds in Trafalgar Square or along the river. Thousands of people gather in central London to watch the huge fireworks display along the Thames. Make sure to get there early, though, because some years the areas get so crowded that the police start turning people away.

If standing out in the cold in a big crowd doesn’t sound like a fun New Years Eve to you, there are plenty of bars, pubs, clubs, and restaurants that have special packages for New Years Eve in London.

However you choose to ring in the new year, you can enjoy free travel between 11:45pm and 4:30am on New Years Eve in London, compliments of HSBC. They are providing free public transport to help you ring in the new year without having to spend money getting home from your New Years Eve destination.
