Nothing screams New Year's Eve like the breathtaking fireworks that take place on Victoria Embankment and the South Bank of the River Thames in London.
The fireworks that light up the sky in London on New Year's Eve are iconic, they are watched by millions. Watching them on TV is one thing but there's nothing quite as spectacular as hearing Big Ben's famous chimes at midnight and seeing London's skyline explode with colour as you witness the UK's largest firework display.
London's New Year's Eve fireworks is a ticketed event, which is great because it means the amount of people turning up can be managed, however it does mean you might have to be quick to bag yourself a ticket. Previous years tickets have cost £10 and they are released in the autumn. Keep an eye on Visit London for more information.
