Thames Fireworks
We went to see the fireworks they do every year on the banks of the Thames to celebrate the new year. It is an amazing experience, but there were a lot of people.

In total, the fireworks last a little over 10 minutes, beginning at midnight exactly. This year, there were more than 50 tons of explosives! It was great, and you can see it on Youtube without feeling the cold! Everything is centered around the London Eye. At the same time, the buildings are illuminated, projecting videos saying Happy New Year, with a "countdown" that tells you when the new year arrives.
