LONDON, ENGLAND, December 30, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Last year, according to the BBC, 500,000 revelers packed the banks of the river Thames to watch the remarkable London NYE fireworks display. The 10 minutes of firework mastery involving 50,000 firework projectiles choreographed above the London Eye, is delivered at a total event cost of GBP1.8million. This year, in an attempt to reduce the number of spectators, the Mayor of London has sold tickets at GBP10 a piece to 100,000 lucky Londoners and visitors who will get a privileged view from the banks of the Thames and Westminster Bridge.
Hundreds of thousands more are expected to catch an alternative view, either from a farther vantage point of which there are many, or from one of London's many high rise buildings along the river. If you are still debating your NYE strategy check out today's LondonTown.com NYE guide, with some original ideas for the best, but not obvious London NYE fireworks views, alternative London NYE Entertainment and London Club Nights on NYE.
