Shoreditch New Year's Eve Parties

Seed Library is turning its Shoreditch basement into the New Year's Eve house party of your dreams - the fun kind, not the one where someone spills wine on the sofa. From 7pm to 2am, the Diggers Dozen DJs will go B2B on the decks while Mr Lyan (aka Ryan Chetiyawardana) serves up a playful, party-ready cocktail menu.

Sip on the Midnight Fizz, a celebratory Champagne and gin number; the Firecracker Margarita with Herradura and elderflower hot honey; and even a JD Coke Float topped with ice-cream foam. Shots get the creative treatment too, with a trio that includes Rose Tequila with raspberry cream, a beer-splashed Lagerita, and a Douglas-fir–spiked 'Skittles' hit - plus a secret menu set to drop later in the night. When the countdown approaches, Seed Library will beam fireworks projections across the back wall alongside silly cat clips and festive Simpsons episodes, keeping the vibe firmly in 'house party but better' territory. And the fun doesn't stop at closing time: you'll leave with a punch-filled party bag designed to keep spirits high (and hangovers gentle) well into New Year's Day.

Head to cool cocktail bar Nightjar for an evening full of blues music and premium drinks. There'll be a live performance from The Eric Ranzoni Trio, an intimate show full of piano melodies and soulful vocals.

Your £80 ticket includes a welcome Champagne cocktail and a second drink of your choice. Plus, every guest will receive a delicious festive treat.

The notorious prison bar is starting your New Year's Eve in the naughtiest way; banging you up behind bars and mixing up illegal contraband into top notch cocktails. Located on Brick Lane, Alcotraz is an immersive two-hour experience that dresses you in orange jumpsuits and sees you sneaking past the warden.

Spend your New Year's Eve in the Shoreditch sky at Boundary. There's no better view across the East London streets as they celebrate the arrival of 2026. 

Atop the Boundary Hotel by Sir Terrance Conran, the rooftop serves up all the style and sophistication you'd expect, with fine fizz and handcrafted signature cocktails.
