London New Year Fireworks Display

Celebrate going into 2009 with a unique and dazzling fireworks show in the capital city of London.

The traditional event will be broadcast live on BBC 1, and Radio 1 will be providing the musical entertainment for all the Londoners heading into the city to watch the fireworks live and to celebrate the New Year along with millions of others meeting 2009 with a bang.

The fireworks will be launched from the London Eye and barges in the Thames against a stunning backdrop - spectators are advised not too leave it too late as premium viewing areas will be busy and you may find yourself being turned away due to the shear number of spectators.

Also do not head straight for the London Eye as the immediate area will be cordoned off as a fall out zone, and road closures to the area may start as early as 7pm on the night. The best views for the display are the Victoria Embankment, north of the Thames, and the bridges. Waterloo, Westminster, Jubilee footbridge and the millennium bridge all have ample views of the Eye.

There are dedicated disabled viewing areas which can be found on the Albert Embankment adjacent to the Houses of Parliament and on the Thames Path towards the back of St Thomas Hospital.

In terms of travel networks there will be all night travel on Tube, DLR, Tram link and national rail services in the greater London area. 24hr major bus routes will run as normal on the evening, however there will be fewer buses leaving central London from 7pm to 3am on New Years Day due to the road closures.
