London’s iconic New Year’s Eve fireworks will once again take over the skies above the Thames, waving goodbye to 2024 and welcoming in 2025 with a bang. The end of year show by the river is one of the biggest in the world, with people rushing to buy tickets from October to see tens of thousands of pyrotechnics light up the city landmarks by the Thames. Ticket holders will be allocated one of a series of viewing areas to see the sparkles, which stretch from Victoria Embankment to Westminster Bridge and Waterloo Bridge.
If you want a river-side seat you better look sharp. The first release of tickets is already on sale, with tickets expected to go quickly. If you’re keen to bag a spot, read our guide on how to get tickets. But, if you do end up missing out on tickets, don’t fret. Head to your nearest hill or just whack on BBC1 and watch it with a selection box.
Sign up on the Mayor of London website to get updates on tickets.
