Things to do on New Year's Eve in London 2020,
Eat a seven-course menu at Frenchie
Perhaps the most indulgent way to see in the New Year is while dining on a French seven-course tasting menu. Modern Parisian-inspired bistro Frenchie in Covent Garden will be hosting a cozy and delicious evening, with a menu created by chef Greg Marchand inspired by the freshest seasonal produce he can find. There’ll be dishes such as Scottish langoustine and venison wellington, as well as an excellent selection of veggie options too. Pair it with six glasses of artisanal wine from eco-friendly producers for a sustainable (and probably quite merry) night.

Hoppers’ NYE Baila Dinner Party
New Year’s Eve is a great time to book into this popular – and consistently exquisite – Sri Lankan restaurant as the branches in Soho and St Christopher’s Place will both be hosting special dinner parties. Pick a setting from 5.30pm to 9.45pm and get ready to devour Sri Lankan delights cooked with British produce, including Chettinad guinea fowl peera with beet jala roti, curried roasted goat chops with fennel varuval, and duck leg buriani. The restaurants will be decked out in colorful lanterns and coconut-shell candles and the night will be soundtracked with Baila, the upbeat Calypso-Esque music of Sri Lanka.

Dinner at Kerridge’s Bar & Grill
You’ve seen that lobster omelette all over Instagram, but if you still haven’t made it to Tom Kerridge’s restaurant in The Corinthia Hotel, New Year’s Eve is the right time to get a real taste of 2018’s hottest opening. Kerridge will be cooking up a delicious Great British four-course menu, including duck liver parfait, Cornish-crab vol-au-vents, beef rib with triple-cooked chips and dark-chocolate pudding. There’s a glass of Laurent-Perrier to kick off the evening and you’ll have a prime riverside spot for firework-watching when the clock strikes midnight. You’ll just have to go back another time to try the omelette though.

Live it large at The Savoy
For a decadent start to 2019, select The Savoy and its three levels of sophisticated partying. Sashay around the place with a topped-up glass of Champagne and an unlimited selection of canapés including duck steamed buns and Scottish lobster and shiitake mushrooms. If you’d prefer a sit-down soirée, Kaspar’s and Thames Foyer will be dishing up a theatrical five-course meal. And if you really want to splash out, the glittering Savoy Ballroom will be going all-out with a night of theatre, magic, and music, a magnificent five-course menu and an exceptional view of the river.

New Year’s Eve at Sushisamba
The fun-loving Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian restaurant will be ushering in 2019 with a chic samba party, pumping out live music at both of its restaurants. There are differently priced sittings throughout the evening, so choose between dinner or bar-only tickets with which you can enjoy canapés and bubbles from 8pm until late. The Covent Garden restaurant will be lovely but, let’s be honest, we all want a spot at the one in the City to enjoy the firework views from the 38th floor of the Heron Tower.
