New Year's Eve 2012 Fireworks | www.london.gov.uk: "New Year’s Eve in London is great - but it’s also really busy so plan ahead. Think about:
Travel plans before the fireworks
Where you want to be at midnight
Your journey home
No ordinary night
Each year around 250,000 people come and watch the Mayor’s midnight fireworks display on the banks of the Thames. The best viewing areas fill up about three hours in advance, and the areas around the river are always packed with people. Before deciding to head out you should consider how long you are prepared to stand around outside waiting for the display to start.
A great place to be
London is still one of the best places to be on New Year’s Eve. Pubs, bars, restaurants and clubs are open well into the night across the city. However, most pubs and clubs are ticketed entry on the night, so if you haven’t booked in advance you may find it difficult to find somewhere to enjoy a drink or eat both before and after the event."
