Summary of request

Your request

I would like to know if I can find out the following details:

  1. How many fireworks were used during the New Year's Eve display in central London? 
  2. How much did the display cost in total, including the clean-up operation?
  3. What was the most expensive individual firework?
  4. What was the cost of the firework display relative to previous years it has taken place?
Our response
  1. Approximately 12,000 fireworks were used during the display.
  2. The budget available for the event was £3.85m, with additional costs being supported by ticket revenue of £1.75m. The GLA does not hold the final costs for the 2023 event – these are still being reconciled.
  3. The GLA does not hold this information.
  4. This information has been requested in previous years and is available on our FOI Disclosure Log.
