Something A Little Different For New Year's Eve In London

While an evening spent behind bars might not be your initial thought of a good night out, trust us on this one. Alcotraz, an immersive, prison-themed cocktail bar, will see you donning an orange jump suit and sipping on tailor-made cocktails at their unusual New Year's Eve party in London.

For a night full of lively entertainment, head to the New Year's Eve Cabaret Extravaganza in Covent Garden, taking place upstairs at The Prince of Wales. It features an excellent lineup of acts, from Candy Heals to President Obonjo and Madame Galina.

Expect to see everything from drag to burlesque, comedy, live music and circus acts - and they'll be showing the midnight fireworks on their big screen too. Plus, there's even an option to enjoy dinner beforehand.

Bringing a slice of Nashville debauchery to West London this NYE, Lil' Nashville is throwing a Big Nash New Year's Bash with a tonne of live performances to keep you going until 1am.

Attendees can opt for the party-only package, where you'll get to revel in all the entertainment on offer, from line dancing classes to country DJs and live bands. Wanting a little more? Upgrade for a Southern feast of epic proportions, including smoked chicken and pulled pork, pit beans, slaw, fries and signature cornbread – along with a free shot on arrival. 

If hopping aboard one of London Party Boats' vessels doesn't sound all kinds of quirky, we don't know what will. Not only are your drinks onboard all-inclusive, but there's also a tasty buffet, DJs and an unrivalled view of Big Ben as it strikes midnight.

Catch the fireworks from this prime vantage point, with tickets starting from £254.40 per person - including all your food and drink for the night.

This bingo event isn't for the weak – it's for the RnB fans, lovers of weird and wonderful giveaways, and those willing to take part in dance competitions and crowd challenges. If that sounds like you, let us introduce you to Old Skool Bingo. Spend the last night of the year doing something out of the ordinary and super memorable, as you try not to let all the excitement distract you from the real matter at hand: dabbing that bingo card and winning the top prize. 

The host will be keeping the vibes strong and the energy high, as he guides you through the game and encourages you to sing and dance in between rounds. And if that's not enough to keep you going, there is of course a bar serving drinks throughout. And did we mention your ticket includes free entry to the after party that will be in full swing til 3am?
