Yes it really is almost that time of the year already. For those lucky travellers that will be in London this NYE, tickets for the fireworks display by Big Ben and the London Eye go on sale a week today, from midday on Friday 21st October.
In my experience, the tickets don't sell out right away, some available even weeks after release, but the ones for the area in front of the London Eye i.e. THE place to be, DO go quickly.
Tickets are only a tenner (£10) but you take your chances with the weather.
