Fireworks at the London Eye <\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

People all over the world seem to be in the mood to celebrate this New Year\u2019s Eve. We told you yesterday about record crowds expected in Las Vegas<\/strong> over the weekend.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, London<\/strong> officials said they expect up to 250,000 revelers to turn out for a fireworks display along the River Thames. For those boarding New Year\u2019s flights to London<\/a><\/strong>, the focal point of the celebration will take place near the London Eye with spillover crowds gathering in Trafalgar Square.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As in past years, Transport for London has announced free public transport between 11:45 PM New Year\u2019s Eve and 4:30 AM New Year\u2019s Day to reduce congestion and cut down wait times for Tube rides.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ahead of the celebration, officials are urging people to expect crowds, drink responsibly, and dress warmly. Sound advice for us all.<\/p>\n
