I am after some advice on which part of London to book a hotel for NYE. From what ive looked at we should try and make our way to the Embankment for the best view, initially I was looking at the Belgravia area to be out of the congestion zone but then I read its all free driving in London after xmas day to NY day???

Ive also been looking at hotels near Charing Cross and Westminster stations, ideally I would not wanting to be waking more than a mile back to hotel as I know the tubes will be busy.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

It is CC free between Christmas and New Year.

There is no way you will be able to drive to the fireworks though. You could go further along and watch them from a distance.

Embankment is ticketed this year so you can't just turn up like in previous years.

Tubes will run all night though so you don't neccesarrily need to stay overly central

Last time I went to London for NYE was Millennium Eve, never again!!

Got there about 6pm, stood on Westminster Bridge for 6 hours, unable to wee or even hardly move. Then 15 mins of fireworks, then a 4 hour journey back to the edge of London. Massive anti-climax as we entered 2000. Vowed never to be anywhere near Central London on NYE again!

But hopefully you'll have a much better time!! Enjoy

So would near westminster bridge be a good spot to try and aim for to watch the fireworks?
