London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display, one of the world’s most famous, is set for December 31, 2025, along the South Bank, featuring a 12-minute spectacle of pyrotechnics, music, and a drone show, synchronized to a curated soundtrack.
Over 100,000 ticketed attendees are expected, with viewing areas from Westminster to Blackfriars Bridge.
The event, organized by the Mayor of London, celebrates the city’s diversity and 2025 milestones, with last year’s show drawing 13 million TV viewers.
Tickets, priced at £20, sold out quickly, but resale options may be available closer to the date.
The display will include eco-friendly fireworks and drones forming iconic shapes, reflecting London’s innovation.
Road closures around Embankment and Waterloo will be in effect, and attendees are urged to plan travel early.
The event boosts local businesses, with bars and restaurants along the Thames bustling.
Safety measures include enhanced security and bag checks.
The fireworks remain a cultural highlight, uniting locals and tourists in celebration, with social media amplifying anticipation through shared clips of past displays.
