new year's in london is brilliant! bring lots of warm clothes, maybe book a restaurant now for dinner if you can afford to go someplace nice. afterwards walk down to the riverside, waterloo bridge is good for the fireworks.
restaurant reviews:
http://travel.guardian.co.uk/res…there will be loads of parties in the clubs, they'll charge a small fortune at the door, but i'd look into booking in advance starting soon:
fabric, cargo, the end will have really big parties i'm sure. just keep your eye on time out:

as for the museums, you really can't go wrong. london will be quite busy around that time, so realise that the tates will be swamped and head for smaller galleries (whitechapel, kemistry, flowers, photographer's gallery, etc.) or museums that don't get quite so much hype (national portrait gallery, museum of london, etc.) if you want to avoid the crowds.

Yup. Stay away. Misery reigns on new year. Suddenly your local boozer wants to charge you for walking through the door, Mayor Ken promises a late tube and late buses, which is always LIES LIES LIES and you'll find yourself sat in the cold and damp with a tramp and a bottle of tequila waiting for a bus that never comes, and there's always some lost clansman with a set of bagpipes. Nasty business...
