Finding Affordable New Year’s Eve Parties in London

Even if your personal financial situation is not as healthy as it could be, there is always one night of the year where most people are prepared to do whatever they can to bring in the New Year with pizzazz. December 31 and the new year party might be your one and only night of true excess when you take your budget to the limit or even beyond it. Any good night out can prove to be expensive, particularly if a meal and a club are involved so it is probably worth planning exactly where you are going to go in advance so you know your spending limitations.

New Years Eve parties in London are not to be missed but there’s no need for them to be cost prohibitive—don’t forget there are the freebie events around Trafalgar Square and the London Eye. Some surprising local venues may hold great parties so look in local listings – you never know, your local bowling alley might just be the place to be seen! If a nightclub is more your scene then avoid the high end clubs with the famous DJs and B list Glitterati because there are some great places for you to go, have a great night and not break the bank.

If you like themed nights then Proud Camden is holding a Burlesque Ball and Sugar Cane has decided on a Tiki Ball complete with aloha cocktails. What’s more, you can find a Cartoon Fancy Dress Night at Jetlag Sports Bar. Other venues are just promising the best night out of the year – try The London Cocktail Club or Vibe Bar. If you like your club nights to be music genre specific then Stylus is sticking to Electronica and Rich Mix is offering Tropicalista (tropical Urban, Latin and Afro vibes). There are also the floating Thames discos to consider. All of these promise great new year parties with ticket prices well within any budget.

Remember tickets for the vast majority of clubs will need to be booked in advance and watch out for early bird tickets and half price offers. Isn’t it good to know that you have a terrific time bringing in the 2011 New Year without going over your budget? Why not get started now and book your tickets for the best New Year in London ever—and quite possibly one of the most affordable.
