Driving, taxis and accessible drop-off
Public transport is strongly recommended. Every viewing zone has its own entry station (listed above), so travel to the station on your ticket rather than heading for the London Eye.
- Expect central London road closures and large crowds on New Year's Eve, with no parking by the river. Follow the latest TfL travel advice and event signage on the night.
- Driving in is not recommended. If you take a taxi, set down well back from the river and walk to your zone's entrance.
- Step-free access: the Orange zone (Westminster to Lambeth) is the accessible viewing area, with seating and a drop-off point.
