New Year’s Eve Party At Oblix At The Shard

The views of London are *chef’s kiss* - especially from 32 floors up. That’s why Oblix at the Shard’s New Year’s Eve party is up there with the best (see what we did there).

In true Oblix style, there will be live music and funky cocktails available all night long.

If you’re wanting an extra boujee entrance into 2023, then choose the ticket option with an open bar for selected wines, beers and cocktails.

Of course, a complimentary glass of fizz is expected to be toasted at midnight while you look out onto East London’s gorgeous skyline - you’d be crazy to miss it.

The Official Moët & Chandon New Year’s Eve Party At The Libertine

If you’re looking for a classy affair this New Year’s Eve, The Libertine has you covered. Their Moët and Champagne party is set to be as grand as it sounds.

Prior to a night of boogying and boozing, have a seat in the restaurant for a gorgeous five course meal whilst listening to Jay Phelps Riviera - one of London’s finest musical talents.

You may decide to arrive a little later for the drinking and dancing, and if you do you’ll get a free glass of Moët & Chandon champagne upon arrival.

Whatever you decide, you’ll be seeing 2023 in the right way.
