What you need to bring to the event
The main ticket buyer may need to show photo ID that matches the name printed on your group’s tickets to get in. This helps the stewards to check that you bought your tickets legally.
Bring a passport or photo driving license, or a good-quality photocopy of either of these.
If you don’t have either of these, stewards on the entry gates will decide whether to accept your alternative photo ID.
If you bought your ticket with a London resident discount, you may need to show proof of address to stewards to get into the event.
Bringing children
This event is not suitable for young children and we strongly recommend you do not bring them, as this is a late-night and crowded outdoor event. Any under-16s who do attend must be with an adult.
Everyone, whatever their age, must have a ticket to get in.
In London, there are hundreds of other ways to celebrate. Find out what’s on offer and plan your night.

Plan your journey
You won’t be allowed to use Westminster Bridge, the Golden Jubilee Footbridge, Lambeth Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge or Waterloo Bridge before or after the event.
When buying your ticket, think about how you will travel to your preferred viewing area on the night.
You'll see details of each viewing area’s specific numbered gate you should use on the night. These are the only entrances you can use. Stations will be very busy when the event ends. Choose the side of the river you want to be on afterwards to get home more easily.
Remember, central London will be very busy on New Year’s Eve. There will be many changes in how the city and transport runs on the night. Do plan your night and allow plenty of time to get in.
Vehicles will not be allowed in the restricted event or surrounding areas, and must be parked outside the closed areas. This includes buses, coaches, cars, vans, trucks and bikes. All vehicle parking will be suspended within the event area.
In conjunction with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), vehicle access will be restricted from 2:00pm on 31 December until around 6:00am on 1 January. However, contingency plans are in place to permit closures from 12:00pm in the yellow and red areas. See the map for more information.
