People swear by Greenwich Park for the view. It’s true—you can see the whole show from the Royal Observatory hill. But here’s the pain: you have to walk up that hill. It’s steep. Your calves will scream. But once you’re at the top, you’ll see the fireworks behind the Canary Wharf towers. It’s a double layer of light.
Pro tip: bring a picnic, but don’t bring glass bottles. Security checks bags and they’re grumpy about it. And if you need a bathroom? Use the café toilets early. The queues become legendary by midnight.
