1) Party off Bedford Place with a multi venue ticket
One ticket grants you access to four parties on December 31.
All you need to do is put your glad rags on and decide where to toast the first moments of 2026.
You have the choice of neighbouring Funky Flamingo, Tokyo Bar, Crib Cocktail Bar & Lounge and Buddha Lounge, which is open until 5am on January 1.
2) Have a Wicked time at The London
There's a gold and green theme for The London's New Year's Eve party this year, celebrating all things Wicked, following the recent release of the second part of the smash hit movie series.
The bold celebration will be hosted by Aura Jay and DJ Claire from 8pm to 2am at the celebrated cabaret venue on Terminus Terrace.
In what has become a firm favourite on the city calendar in recent years, Ottoman Kitchen hosts a fabulous night of entertainment with magicians, belly dancers and a DJ.
Enjoy a four course traditional Turkish feast and bubbles on arrival at 'the UK's best Middle Eastern restaurant on the High Street.
4) Go bottomless as you approach 2026
Medbar on Oxford Street is hosting a special New Year's Eve Bottomless Brunch.
Enjoy two ours of bottomless drinks from 7pm-9pm, plus a food dish from a menu including burgers, pizzas and salads, followed by a free after-party until 2am.
You'll be keen to enjoy the dancing in two rooms of music after all those spirits and mixers, cocktail jugs, Proseccos and wines.
If bowling is more your thing, head to Westquay for a New Year's Eve bowling party.
Enjoy unlimited bowling from 9.30pm, food, drinks and a fun, high-energy atmosphere at Hollywood Bowl at this family friendly party with a difference.
