Tickets to see London's New Year's Eve fireworks are now on sale!
How to get your tickets to watch one of the world's biggest fireworks displays in South Bank.
This year South Bank’s winter pop-ups have a new playful edge with the arrival of the Four Quarters retro arcade bar pop-up.
Stacked with an array of genuine arcade cabinets from the 1980s to the modern day, Four Quarters (run by the same team from the popular bar on Peckham's Rye Lane) is a fun winter pop-up that has plenty to keep you busy with a great selection of iconic games to play including Pac-Man, Time Crisis, Street Fighter, Crazy Taxi, Space Invaders, Mario Kart and many more, highlighting the best arcade games of different eras.
Keeping things in a festive spirit there are also rotating gaming challenges on a big screen with a festive flair – everything from Mario Kart races on icy tracks through to Guitar Hero Christmas song sessions. And, topping it all off there’s also a large bar serving beer, mulled wine and Christmas cocktails.
Walk-ins are welcome although it’s worth booking to ensure a seat – especially if you’re bringing the office along for a fun Christmas party extra.
