There are plenty of New Years Eve parties, but none quite like this. Forget the queues, the freezing cold on the Embankment and a scramble for a glimpse of the sky. The most coveted view of London’s world-famous New Year fireworks belongs to those stepping inside the splendour of One Whitehall Place at The Royal Horseguards Hotel – a front-row seat to the most iconic spectacle of the year. From the comfort of this historic riverside landmark, guests will raise a glass as midnight lights up the Thames.
The landmark Grade II listed venue, just steps from the River Thames, is holding its annual New Year’s Eve “Royal Party” offering a night of delicious dining, dancing and celebrations in one of the capital’s most iconic, and best placed settings.
Guests will enjoy a Champagne reception, a six-course feast including steamed Halibut, Pan Fried Fillet of Beef, Dark Chocolate Delice and Truffles, with live entertainment and free-flowing drinks throughout the evening. With a history of hosting statesmen, royalty and glittering society events since the 19th century, One Whitehall Place adds a touch of prestigious glamour to the celebrations.
At the final countdown to midnight, guests will gather at the Reading and Writing Room’s floor-to-ceiling windows which transform into the city’s most exclusive vantage point With the London Eye centre stage, it’s an unbeatable front-row view of the fireworks.
Hotel manager Akhilesh Gupta said: “As one of London’s most historic riverside venues, we’re proud to offer guests a truly unforgettable way to welcome in the New Year. There’s nothing quite like raising a glass as the fireworks launch over the Thames, it’s London at its very best.”
The celebrations carry on until 2am with music, dancing and late-night bites. Priced from £495 per person, this is more than a party – it’s an invitation to step into history and welcome 2026 in the heart of London.
