I've got a question here for any people from (or living in) london.

Where do you suggest my friend and I go for a good time in new years eve?

We'll be in London from the 28th of december till the 10th of january.


I've heard that there is a big party at trafalgar square, but I am wondering if it would be like the one at Times Square in NY.

Any suggestions?



P.S. Aside from all the museum type goodies (i'm a hopeless academic) what are some fun things to do about town.

And how cold is it? I'm from the desert.

We'll be staying at a youth hostel near hyde park (near paddington station I think).

I've been to london before, but not without any kind of guide.

I don't know where you can go because i haven't been to London for a while,
but the weather is quite cold, you might get some snow, but it'll probably just rain.

I know i'm not from London, but i felt sorry for you having no replies,
hope you have a good time

Edinburgh's a good place to go for new year :D

Get to Edinburgh, Scotland if you can

I here you can take a train to paris quite easily from london.

Or, you can always jet to NYC, from heathrow.

Alternatively, you can stay in London, as I think he wants to.
There'll PROBABLY be some sort of party in Hyde Park, which will be worth a look. Just go out and wander around the streets and see if you find anything interesting. Leicester Square may also be worth a visit.

Ya, if I wanted to go to NYC for new years I wouldnt be going to London for new years. Thanks though.

I'm hoping to go to edinborough while i'm there, and probably to paris too (2+ hours each way by train if I'm not mistaken?)

I've not been to scotland before but really love what i've heard (and drank :p) of the place.

Been to paris but you can never be in france too long, so i hope to swing by.

I'll probably just end up wandering around and finding somewhere fun, was just wondering if anyone had any good ideas though.

Middlesbrough. Secondary options Grimsby and Portsmouth.
