It's New Years Eve and if like us you're very bad at making plans more than 12 hours in advance, you might be looking for something to do tonight. Equally if you were planning to go to The Truman Show in Shoreditch then you should probably know that it's been cancelled due to 'surprise' secret acts The Kooks pulling out due to illness.
In any case here are our top tips:

For those who like getting cold:
Tradition has it that central london is the place to gather, and like the last couple of years a spectacular fireworks display will be launched from The London Eye as Big Ben finishes chiming the new year in. There are viewing areas on the North and South banks of The Thames between Waterloo and Westminster bridge and giant screens in Trafalgar and Parliament Square. Events start at 8pm and it is suggested that all viewing areas will be full by 11pm.
Above all have a great time, and remember a tube home is free and running until 4.30am.
