Every year the banks of the River Thames are packed with thousands waiting for the New Year to roll in and watch the firework display. 

Last year, London was in lockdown during the festivities meaning the NYE firework display was cancelled. 

Unfortunately just like last year, the New Year celebrations are not happening following the rise in Omicron cases.

But there are plenty of other great themed events and celebrations you can enjoy instead.

Instead of the River Thames display, there will be a special event in Trafalgar Square organised by the Mayor of London.

The celebrations will be broadcast live on to BBC One and iPlayer. 

The festivities will see a live choir and other performances as well as plenty of food stalls.

Plus the organisers are still announcing all the special treats they have in store for the big event. 

It is a ticketed event and you can get tickets by signing up for the online ballot.
