Keep safe

Large crowds can sometimes be uncomfortable and unsettling, so make sure you are fully prepared with the following tips.

• Access to viewing areas is controlled to ensure a safe capacity. One-way systems and road closures will be in place to ensure safety.  Please follow signage and advice from stewards and police.
• Viewing areas will close once full; some close as early as 9pm. Do not attempt to access viewing areas after 10:30pm.
• If you see anything suspicious or an unattended bag, contact a police officer, event steward or Transport for London staff.
• Keep your possessions with you at all times. Pickpockets operate in crowds, so keep your valuables well hidden.
• Large crowds mean the event is unsuitable for buggies and for very small children.

Keep well

• Wrap up VERY warm – you get colder than you think when standing still outside for several hours in winter!
• Stay together with friends
• Bring any medication you need with you
• St John Ambulance and London Ambulance Service will be there on the night if you feel unwell
• Bring water with you to keep rehydrated
• No alcohol, food or drink will be on sale at the event
• If bringing alcohol, bring plastic bottles or cans and drink responsibly. No glass!
