How does the world welcome the New Year?

London, UK

London’s countdown celebrations are usually distinguished by the Big Ben chimes, a fireworks display as well as an illuminated London Eye ferris wheel along the River Thames. The fireworks will follow Big Ben’s famous chimes.

The New Year’s Eve fireworks have been ticketed since 2014, to ensure the event’s safe and fun. According to the tourism authorities of the city, the tickets for this year’s event have been sold out for the last couple days.
