Fancy seeing London’s dazzling fireworks display to ring in the New Year?
Tune in to BBC One tonight (December 31) at midnight exactly – or watch via BBC iPlayer.
The New Year’s Eve programming kicks off a little earlier at 11.30pm – as the UK’s Eurovision star Sam Ryder performs a range of hits in Sam Ryder Rocks New Year’s Eve.
But if you want to, you can tune in a couple minutes’ before midnight to witness the countdown to 2023 and hear Big Ben chime, before the fireworks begin.
The display takes place on London’s South Bank, near the London Eye, and usually lasts around 10 to 15 minutes.

Londoners can also see in 2023 by dancing alongside dinosaurs in a museum, hitting a nightclub, or enjoying a cruise along the Thames – with this round-up of top New Year’s Eve activities.
