Where can I find information on public transport for New Year’s Eve?
Even if your event is not within the exclusion zone, please be aware of the below information regarding events on London on New Year's Eve.
Public transport will be affected on New Year's Eve and you should check with Transport for London and National Rail for regular updates before travelling. Due to the nature of the event and the need to safely manage large numbers of passengers, stations may need to close temporarily at any time during the day, or night. Please plan ahead and consider alternative routes to your destination. Please check your planned route before travelling and share this information with any guests.
Please note that for anyone booked on to a boat on New Year's Eve, the Police have advised that the boat operators will need to conduct bag and/or person searches on all guests boarding the vessels on New Year's Eve. This is going to be a blanket requirement for all boats going out on the river that evening.
Please allow extra time to reach your party destination, London will be very busy. For cruise bookings, piers will be servicing many other party guests and boats other than the party that you have booked for. Boats will not wait for latecomers and refunds will not be made because of late arrival, regardless of the circumstances.
In regards to restaurant/cruise packages, if individuals arrive late for the meal then it may be necessary to forfeit a course in order to board the boat on time. It is your responsibility to ensure that you arrive at your destination on time. Absolutely no refunds will be issued under any circumstances to customers who are late.
