Photo ID you can use
As the main ticket buyer, you may be asked to show photo ID that matches the name printed on your group’s tickets to get in.
The best forms of photo ID are your passport or photo driving license, or a good quality photocopy of either of these. If you don’t have either, stewards on the entry gates will decide whether to accept your alternative photo ID.
Bringing children under 16
As a late night and crowded, outdoor event, we strongly recommend you do not bring young children. Any under 16s who do attend must be with an adult. Everyone, whatever their age, must have a ticket to get in.
But, in London, there are hundreds of ways to celebrate. Find out what’s on offer and plan your night.
Transport in London on NYE will be much busier than usual and your travel plans may be affected. Plan your journey in advance.
