Celebrate New Year’s Eve in serious style aboard one of London’s most iconic river boats. Thames Luxury Charters sure know how to put on a party, with evenings of Champagne, live music, and a front-row seat to the fireworks.

There’s also a smaller Spanish Room for 12.

Ring in the new year in true West End style at Mr Porter, setting the scene for a standout celebration with velvet textures, golden accents and low-lit glamour.

An ever-popular party location in Canary Wharf of all places, Hawksmoor Bar in Wood Wharf centres around a nine-metre-long bar, where skilled bartenders mix up signature cocktails all night.

Travelling into the heart of Piccadilly Circus on New Year’s might not sound particularly appealing, but as soon as you’re inside this brilliant Bavarian Beer Hall, you’ll realise it’s worth it.

Hire one of its Ski Tables for 20, or discover larger spaces like The Vault and the Schenke Bar.
