Ah yes...the annual "what shall we do at New Year?" thread. This met with a muted response last time given so many here are fairly apathetic preferring to watch Jools Holland with a warm tin of stella than pay 30 quid to get into their local.


I take the opposite view - another year of life in this wonderful world is well worth celebrating. And paying a small amount to cover double time bar staff , extra entertainment and a free drink doesn't usually put me off.


Last year The Rye and the Sun and Doves (Camberwell borders) were tipped. I did the Rye (2nd time after a glorious one in 2005) and it was a good bash - complete with stripping barmaid (unforgettable).


An ED establishment has still to prove itself as THE place to go for New Year like other parts of London I know and the fact that you have had no response to your post yet suggests more apathy this year.


So come on - who's organising a decent bash?

I cant remember the stripped Barmaid either, but I do remember the flashing Scotsman ... Oh NOW I remember, but it was a quick hoist up of the blouse than a strip.


The Rye was the first New Years Pub do that I have been to that wasnt a disapointment - a great evening.

For the past 3 or 4 years I have headed down to The Bishop for NYE. Its usually ?10 / ticket, get them in advance, and a good laugh! They clear out all the middle tables to create a dance floor, there is a DJ, confetti/streamers/bangers etc at midnight and generally a great ED feel....best of all Food and Wine stay open and are almost next door!

Thanks for your kind words *Anna*, message me privately with your details and you get yourself a free ticket for NYE at The Bishop.

This year will be the same ?10, same DJ, dancing on the bar but no confetti, streamers or bangers (as after four years we have decided to make life a little easier for the cleaner New Year's Day) HOWEVER there will be lasers, disco ball & a smoke machine. The aim is to make the evening the complete opposite of the millenium anti-climax, 10 long years ago...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
