It's easy to get so tangled up in the tinsel-decked glories of Christmas that you forget there's another big bash, just a week later. But New Year's Eve is the kind of night that you forget at your peril. Attempt to wing it and you might well end up stuck at home in front of Jools Holland's Hootenanny, because all London's best clubs and parties book out weeks or months in advance. 

But fear not, we're here to make sure you give 2025 a seriously good send-off. Here's our list of the best NYE bashes to ring in 2026 at, from never-ending club nights to LGBTQ+-friendly celebrations. Assemble your crew, book your tickets, plan the perfect ‘fit and prepare to say a big fat goodbye to the old year.

Say auf wiedersehen to 2025 in style at central London’s Bavarian pleasure palace Albert’s Schloss, which is celebrating New Year’s Eve with a time-hopping party featuring some of history’s biggest party animals, with performances by ornately costumed artistes.

  • Food and drink events
  • Bank

Coq d’Argent’s New Year’s Eve bash is a refined affair full of Francophone luxury. Come for a five-course tasting menu that typically includes delights like champignon sauvage, fletan and petits fours, stay for the private fireworks display on their terrace with views over the City, accompanied by live music and dancing. If you want to join the party but can’t justify £200 for a big dinner, the restaurant offers a an early bird option for £150, or £50 bar tickets so you can still be part of the fun without breaking the bank.
