• Price: from £157.94 - £369.94 per person
• For views of: St Paul's Cathedral, City of London, and the fireworks
• Why we recommend: it's very fun going up in the glass lift at One New Change in St Paul's and stepping out into the all-dancing and disco Madison, which really comes alive on New Year's Eve. We like the varied packages which include a more intimate three-course meal inside the restaurant, as well as tickets that come with a glass of bubbles and canapés

Countdown to 2027 high above the city at Madison. Recently crowned Bar of the Year for the second year running, it's seeing in the New Year with an indulgent dinner and dancing into the early hours.

Get down for 5pm to start your night with a specially crafted three-course menu or join later in the evening for bubbles and canapés. Whatever you do, be here for midnight to take in the fireworks.

• When: 31st December, dinner times TBC
• Price: TBC
• For views of: the London Eye, Houses of Parliament, the Thames, The Shard, and the fireworks 
• Why we recommend: the Thames-side location of Skylon means you'll be treated to views of the fireworks from the comfort of a sleek restaurant, which is why we love it as one of our top New Year's Eve picks. The menus feature fresh flavours, elegantly presented dishes, and a wide range of drinks that'll appeal to all

Skylon has to be one of the best rooftop bars for New Year's Eve in London. Not only will you be treated to panoramic views of the Thames (and the fireworks), but also a luxurious five-course feast, paired with entertainment and tasty drinks.

• Why we recommend: we think this is the perfect pick if you don't want to commit to a full night out, as the £10 entry ticket includes entry from 2pm 'til 5pm, alongside a glass of Champagne. However, if you want to spoil yourself, nab the £200 package which is your ticket to a night of unlimited cocktails, canapés and dancing 

See in the New Year with great views and bottomless booze at the London Bridge Rooftop. Your £200 all-night ticket gets you unlimited Aperols, Champagne, beer, wine, and plenty more, plus free-flowing canapés - both meat and vegan.

The Shard, St Paul's and the London Eye are the perfect backdrop as you dance to DJs on high while the city celebrates below.
