to watch the fireworks on the Thames near the London Eye, one of the world's most beautiful performances to celebrate the New Year, we stopped at subway station Liverpool Street and from there we samo direct to the subway station closest to the spot we wanted, to Embankment.
A quick supply of bread and water, a walk on the Golden Jubilee Bridge to produce a few photos, make video recordings and the first to appease the appetite. For the record decks that surround the London Eye, Golden Jubilee Bridge and Westminster Bridge, from 22.00 until 01.00, will be closed for security reasons.
Also for safety reasons, the influx to the area reserved for the vision of the show (via Victoria Embankment) is blocked when one perceives that there is more space. Based on experience
advice (for those who plan to travel next year at the London Eye to celebrate the New Year), to those who want to take pictures or videos in an optimal manner to achieve the favorite spot around 20.00.
At that already meet people camp out intent on not losing the best location but ... the move ... a good place you can still find.
If we agree to being among the "human stampede" you can get safely to 22.00 ... hoping that the gates are not closed prior to ... availability.
After gaining the best position possible, of course, thanks to luck and to our intuition, we were waiting in front of the London Eye, almost immobile, for 4 long hours.
The only distraction? Attending on drill technical operations of the technicians used the video recordings of the BBC and Sky News, links, live interviews with some guests unknown to us. He cheered the
hold live "environment" of the BBC radio that spread well-known songs to the point that the public, which continued to pile up behind us, singing out loud all the time.
to 60 seconds at the end of midnight from the wall beside the London Eye has appeared a giant clock that began to flow backwards up to the fateful "0 seconds" ... at which point the show began.
10 minutes of incredible and with the spectacular fireworks that have "fire" the London Eye.
At the end of the show are two ways to continue the evening:
1 - heading quickly towards the nearest subway station ... to reach our destination took us almost an hour that gave himself all the stations adjacent to the London Eye was closed until 03:00 for safety problems.
2 - Staying to fuck under the Big Ben, the two bridges reopened to walk.
The show, however, is not the most edifying. The road is covered with liquor bottles and cans of beer, make the gymkhana boys drunk people lying on the land, mostly female, prey to alcohol, patrols of police officers claimed that enough number were busy to deal with this flood of kids stoned on beer and spirits.
To be honest, apart from the vision certainly not positive, I have witnessed violent behavior ... apart from a scazzottatura among a group of guys.
But the news of the day after I discovered that there were 77 arrests.
Against 250,000 people, including the London Eye and Trafalgar Square, attended to celebrate the New Year.
