Best Outdoor New Year's Eve Parties In London

A 1911 Dutch barge that has been transformed into a fun, floating bar, The Bar At Temple is an ideal party destination this New Year's Eve. Boogie on their outdoor deck, where live DJs will be playing pop classics while you sip bottomless drinks.

Your ticket includes unlimited prosecco, beer, wine and house spirits throughout, as well as a delicious meal of chilli con carne. And the best part? You'll have an amazing view of the fireworks at midnight.

Who says outdoor New Year's Eve has to mean freezing in a crowd? At Divine Aurora, you'll be dancing under the stars on one of London's most stunning rooftops - Circe's Waterloo - with a cocktail in hand and a front-row seat to the fireworks.

This immersive, open-air celebration blends ancient myth with modern decadence: think live bands, DJs, mystical entertainers, and all-inclusive drinks from 7.30pm to 12.30pm. It's a party at its most elevated - quite literally.

The Pukka Up NYE Boat Party is back, and it's bigger than ever. Climb aboard The Dutchmaster for six hours of non-stop celebration on the Thames. Sip on a welcome cocktail, hit the dancefloor as Ibiza-style DJs take control, and soak up breathtaking views of London's landmarks illuminated against the night sky.

As midnight approaches, the boat moors near the London Eye for a front-row view of the city's famous fireworks. Whether you're snapping photos on the deck or toasting to 2026 with friends and strangers alike, you'll be part of an atmosphere like no other.

Looking for a luxurious party this year? Then check out Capital Pleasure Boats, who have been hosting private functions and events for over 20 years. There are two different boats to choose from on the 31st, with tickets to suit all budgets, starting from £110 per person.

Whether you want to opt for a glass of prosecco on arrival or book a bottomless drinks package, you can celebrate in style here. Plus, you'll get to soak up all the views of the city at night, including the mesmerising midnight fireworks display.

See in 2026 from the Thames this New Year's Eve on the Battersea Barge. DJ K Ben will be behind the decks to keep you moving until the city starts its countdown to 12 o'clock.

After London's legendary fireworks light up the city sky, it's off to Tamesis Dock to party until 4am. Tickets to party on the boat until 12:30am are just £20 - with an extra £25 getting you into the afters. 

Located within the exclusive, ticketed area of the Southbank, Fire & Fromage is an alpine-themed winter pp-up. They're hosting a fantastic New Year's Eve party with music until late, as well as brilliant views of the fireworks at midnight.

Their classic ticket option includes a glass of mulled wine and a delicious burger, though you can also upgrade to a more premium package. This features fondue, tasty canapes, dessert and bottomless drinks.
