The Old Nun's Head

Dough Hands Pizza

Located close to Peckham Rye station, The Old Nun's Head is a family-run boozer that knows how to throw a good party. This historic building is filled with traditional furnishings, wood panelled walls and roaring fireplaces, with a private room upstairs too.

Hit the dancefloor with a pint of local ale or a glass of premium wine in hand. And if you're hungry? They hist a rotating range of kitchen pop-ups too.

Cocktail Akademia

Located in Bromley, Cocktail Akademia is a striking four-storey venue that offers three different bars. They'll be open until 4am this New Year's Eve, promising live DJs playing everything from RnB to house and Afrobeats.

Entry costs £15 per person, or you can upgrade to secure your group a table. You'll receive a glass of bubbles to begin the evening, and you can watch the fireworks display on their big screen.
