Ring in 2023: London's best New Year’s Eve parties
Despite the fact that virtually every bar and restaurant in London is throwing a New Year's Eve party (at least a third of which are aspiring to recreate Studio 54), many of us are struggling to decide how to spend the biggest night of the year. If you've yet to make plans but you're keen to see out 2022 with a bang, read on for our round-up of the city’s best parties and events. From vintage glamour and high-end dining to the best view of London's New Year's Eve Fireworks, Culture Whisper’s guide to New Year’s Eve 2022 events in London will ensure you don’t miss out on the biggest night of the year.
A New Romantics New Year's Eve at The Thin White Duke
Dress as a Peacock Punk or Romantic Rebel and party like it’s 1979 at hip new bar The Thin White Duke. Named after one of David Bowie's alter egos, the bar will of course be featuring plenty of Bowie hits on its 80s-heavy soundtrack. Beyond the music, expect burlesque performances, a decadent champagne tower, candy floss and limited-edition cocktails from exciting mixologist Dav Eames.

New Year's Eve at Cahoots
Evolution club in Battersea Park is bringing guests a snapshot of New York glamour this NYE. You’ll be greeted with fizz and canapés on arrival, before sitting down for a four-course banquet, while watching live dancers, acrobats and a six-piece band. Once wined and dined, head onto the dance floor to boogie to DJ sets, and don’t forget to have a go on the dodgems. Glitziest outfits at the ready.

New Year's Eve at the Sea Containers
Best for… divine cocktails and spectacular views
Formerly Dandelyan – aka 2018's best bar in the world – Lyaness still serves world-class cocktails, just in revamped surroundings. Still headed up by Ryan Chetiyawardana (aka Mr Lyan, aka 'The World's Most Awarded Bartender'), the space has been redesigned with a fresh menu by hotel design whiz Jacu Strauss (talented ex-pupil of Tom Dixon). There couldn't be a more chic place to spend an evening sipping Mr Lyan's exciting concoctions, with your bed just a stumble up the stairs. With the hotel perched on the South Bank, you'll have a second-to-none view of the midnight fireworks display over the river, too. Be sure to ask for a room with a view, or else get there early to bag a spot on the restaurant terrace, which overlooks the river.
