Lucy Bloxham • 16 December, 2015

New Year. One of the most emotionally confusing, expectation disillusioning and wallet draining evenings of the year. And yet every. year. our poor optimistic minds still manage to convince ourselves to go out, get squiffy and do the annual 6am horrendous tube journey home with, what it seems, half of the entire population of the United Kingdom. And is it ever the night you hope it to be? No. It’s not. Fear not, however, our wonderful party-goer friends, there is still hope! We’ve done our research and have found the 4 best New Year’s Eve events so all you have to do is put your glad rags on and FINALLY have the night you deserve ?

1. Speakeasy Boat Party, Gangsters and Molls

New-Years-Eve-London-4 — [Resident Advisor]

Let’s set the scene. You, London (well, New York, but we’re in London…), the Thames and it’s the 1920s. The era of Prohibition. Bars are closed and underground establishments that illegally sell alcoholic beverages have sprung up in their place. The young wild folks, known as “flappers and dappers”, drink, smoke and dance all night at these “speakeasies”…sound fun? Well, we’ve got the event for you! Dress up like a gangster or a Moll and Charleston your way into 2016.

The evening starts at 8pm at the Reserve Bar & Exchange, with welcome drinks, nibbles, dancers and Casino. Party over 3 floors before waltzing down to the pier for 1.30am departure where you better be ready to groove to funky beats from none other than Leon Eeon, Julian Armour, James McLaughlin and other guests. JUST IMAGINE THE VIEWS! Get your tickets (only £25!) and get loosey-goosey like never before!

A private members club eeyyy, you might say. Why yes. A private members club indeed. Go on, you deserve it. This year, the team at Century are offering a spectacle of discovery; an unparalleled extravaganza of culinary delights and flowing drinks at their top Soho location. The dress code is ‘Mystical Dreams of Century’ (oohhh), inviting you to unleash your inner fantasist and to bring a touch of mystery, a sprinkle of imagination and an abundance of class to your evening. And we’ve got two ticket prices for you so you can decide for yourself exactly how extravagant you want to go…you just need to download Fever and you’ll be on your way!

3. New Year’s at the Silver Mansion

“This is a delicious latino muse named Montserrat who put a spell on the Baron this time, whispering the Silver theme & promising the most shining evening ever… he just couldn’t resist.” Anonymous Insider.

For a mere £38.16 (don’t ask about the 16p…) join The Mansion with one of their exclusive parties in possibly one of London’s most astonishing locations. A kaleidoscopic party with unparalleled entertainment, including top DJs, street food, fire shows, cage dancers, clairvoyants (if you’re brave enough to see how 2016 is going to pan out…) and art exhibits, all in one stunning secret location. Live singers will be oozing smooth jazz beats, and Nahini the master djembefola, who will have you all beating to the same party drum.
