The Mayor of London’s 10-minute New Year's fireworks display is centred on the London Eye but attracts huge crowds of around 250,000 people along the banks of the River Thames.

A live DJ set from Radio 1’s Nihal will keep the crowds entertained pre and post the pyrotechnics, starting at 10pm.

You’ll also get to hear the famous Big Ben ‘bongs’ just before the launch of the fireworks display - "the UK’s biggest" - alongside a tailor-made soundtrack.

Viewing areas are on both the North and South banks of the river between Waterloo and Lambeth bridges, with a partially restricted view along the Embankment as far as Blackfriars Bridge. A signed walk route (7.1km / 4.4 miles) will be in place around the viewing areas which all close at 11.30pm.

Viewing areas are full up around 2-3 hours in advance (from 8pm).

If viewing areas are full, you can also watch the display live on giant screens in Trafalgar Square.

Due to large crowds, allow extra time for walking - it can take much longer than usual.

The display, and the Eye will be live on BBC One from 11.55pm.

Alcohol, food and drink will not be on sale at the event. If bringing your own booze put it in plastic bottles (don't bring cans or glass).
