Mr. White's
If you thought Paris was the only city with
1920s hotspots, especially on New Year's Eve, think again! Here in London, the famous Mr. White's Leicester Square takes you back in time, to the Prohibition era, for a night of sensational night of cocktails, gourmet food, dancing, and more. Their yearly 'Prohibition Party' brings back all the glamour, mystery, intrigue, and romance of the early 20th-century and mixes it with modern-day haute cuisine, delicious drinks, and new age vibe. You will have to dress your best though, and the more you look like a 20s flapper or a 30s gentleman, the better!

Alcotraz
'Alcatraz' refers to the infamous prison island in the US. 'Alcotraz,' however, is the unique prison-themed cocktails bar in London. And every New Year's Eve, they host a unique event that will have you experiencing what it's like to be in prison. Doesn't sound like the most suitable activity for such a holiday, doesn't it? But that's what's so good about it! Here, you'll have to don the orange jumpsuits as you try to smuggle contraband past all the guards, seek alliances, and find out who's the rat. Who's up for a thrilling prisoner game to welcome 2022?
