Best Restaurants Open for New Year's Eve in London FAQs

Which bar in London has the best view of fireworks on New Year's Eve?

If you want a good view of fireworks in London during New Year’s Eve, head to Aqua Shard or Oblix. Both of these restaurants feature terraces and ceiling-to-floor windows that give you a great view of the London fireworks.

What time should I book a table to enjoy the midnight countdown?

Dine a little later than usual to end your experience with the midnight countdown. Avoid early sittings as they typically require you to leave before the countdown, and instead opt for a later sitting. Options in London include Aqua Shard, Yopo and Niju. Alternatively, find a venue that offers dinner and a New Year’s Eve party in one, like Samba Sushi.
