Default NEW YEARS EVE 2009 - What's good?

What do people recommend? I fancy taking my girlfriend somewhere special for New Year's Eve, thinking London for a big fire works display or similar.

Where are the biggest / best places to go / see / do?

Im sure Paddy said a few weeks ago that he went to London last year to see fireworks etc, and it was so busy getting there, being there and getting back, he wished he had stayed in

i did london last year! There was 4/5 of us who went, got the train from newbury park into london and the tube to embankment...well it was packed! lol we got a good spot at parliament square, could see big ben, the eye and the fireworks perfectly! After much pushing and shoving around to get thru everyone at the first point you could see the eye, was a nightmare but had a good time and you were allowed to drink in the street too which was quite weird! lol
