And, of course, Waterloo is the perfect central meeting point for family far and wide.

NEW YEAR’S EVE

Skylon’s annual New Year’s Eve party is known to sell out. While we can’t share the name of the band or the menu details just yet, you can absolutely book your table!

Those seated at our River View seats will catch a glimpse of the Mayor’s Fireworks Display, with the option to walk down to the viewing area on the South Bank*.

During the Mayors Fireworks Display, there are tight security regulations to enter the South Bank. Typically, you need to enter between 7pm and 8pm so we ask you to be prepared for the same scenario in 2024.

Entry is regulated around the perimeter of the South Bank on New Year’s Eve and access to the viewing area is granted at the discretion of security on the night, and may not be allowed in the event of poor weather or security risks.
