📌 The five picks

Madison

A rooftop restaurant and bar with several terraces looking across the City skyline and St Paul’s Cathedral, with cocktails, DJs and live acoustic sets. It is one of the more scenic ways to see the year out, and it has marked New Year’s Eve before, so check what is planned. Private hire is available for larger groups.

Coppa Club Tower Bridge

A riverside restaurant and bar on the north bank of the Thames, with floor-to-ceiling openings onto a terrace facing Tower Bridge. It also has heated, weatherproofed dome pods for private dining. A relaxed pick if you would rather sit down with a view than spend the night on your feet.

Bounce Battersea

A ping pong bar at Battersea Power Station with 17 tables, game formats that include beer pong, a cocktail bar and a burgers-and-pizza menu. It is playful and competitive, so it suits a group who want to start the night with something to do. Booking is required and it is 18+ later in the day, so check what is planned for New Year’s Eve.

Hijingo

A bingo bar built around live entertainment, big lighting and loud music, plus a separate cocktail bar, burgers, tacos and sharing plates. It is 18+ and works well for a lively group who want a game as well as a drink. A good alternative if a standard club night leaves you cold.

Roller Nation

Billed as London’s home of roller disco, in a purpose-built venue with a bar and food. Skates are provided, so you do not need your own, and the space handles big groups. A fun, different option if you want to spend the night moving rather than queueing for the bar.

❓ FAQ

New Years Eve London: quick answers before you book

How far ahead should I book for New Year’s Eve in London?
As early as you can. It is one of the busiest nights of the year for group bookings, and the most popular venues fill tables and private areas first. Booking a few months ahead gives you the most choice.
How big a group can these venues take?
It varies by venue, and most offer private hire or semi-private areas for larger groups. Capacity and minimum spends change, so ask the venue for its current figures before you commit.
How do I keep the night within budget?
Agree a per-head figure first, then ask each venue what it includes. New Year’s Eve often comes with a set package or minimum spend, so compare what you actually get rather than the headline number.
What if some of the group do not want a big club night?
Pick a venue where there is something to do besides drink. A rooftop or riverside table suits a calmer evening, while bingo and roller disco give a mixed group a shared activity.
