Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Book tickets as a group to ensure you are in the same viewing area, as movement between areas on the night is not permitted.
- Consider your travel plans carefully when selecting a viewing area, as many bridges will be closed and public transport will be extremely busy.
- If you require accessible facilities, book tickets for the Orange viewing area, but be aware it offers a side view of the fireworks and is a significant distance from public transport.
- Arrive early to your designated viewing area, as entry gates have specific opening times and stations will be very busy after the event concludes.
- If you are a London resident, ensure you book the 'London Resident Ticket' and have proof of address ready, as this offers a significant discount but may require verification.
